Please refer to rule 3.d.
Although I do agree that there is no real reason (that I can think of) to allow for capacitance to be tested and not inductance.

Agreed... they could've easily allowed inductance but not RLC circuits (especially since they allowed capacitance but not RC circuits in B division). Also, they added magnetic poles, magnetic fields, and electromagnets to the rules, so there's really not much of a reason not to allow inductance.

If your event supervisor is known to be mean, learn it.

In the official guidebook, it says that we have to know how to use a breadboard. I want to know if this is a solderless breadboard. Also, does a graphing calculator count as a stand-alone calculator?

I assume it means a solderless breadboard. A graphing calculator counts as a stand-alone calcaulator.

I would agree with UTF. They don't want students soldering.

We have a new official 'calculator policy' everyone should review:

I'm fairly new to binder events. How thick are the binders for these types of events usually?

Varies from 1-1.5 inches to something like
