Thats really a mater of opinon. If you like solar systems then you'll like this event, if you don't then you won't. Nobody can tell you wether its a good event or not because everyone has a different opinon.

You might not find a website for that, but you might try the program Stelarium. The official site is here. Its a pretty cool program that I used last year for RFS, but I'm sure you could use it to find the stars and constellations. Its free, and actually really fun to mess with.
Good luck!

yes you do. it's the last letter.
on our regional test, there was a starmap. my partner did it, I didn't see the questions but it didn't seem to be "the day of the competition" thing, those are way to hard to set up for the test maker.
anyway the more you know, the merrier.

We do like not to much but just a bit here is a good website: http://www.dibonsmith.com/constel.htm
Just click on the names and it will tell you about each one....on the competition they mostly ask what constellation is near a a planet
