One team tried to get closer to hear the discussion between my partner and me talk. They also looked at our papers. Man! I wish I had that packet. The other team from my school got 7th by using that packet.

Perhaps. I don't know. I'm not actually in the event. The invitational wasn't that good either.

In the invitational, they just had questions on ID, geologic time scales, definitions (which we had in our mini-binder), and preservation of specimens. Hope that helped someone about the structure of the event!
