I remember like 30 teams showing up last year.

Yep, I'm goin to TKSO. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm seriously cramming now. Is it just me and I'm doomed for failure, or is everyone only semi-done studying their events?

Anywho, watch out for St. Joseph.

well you should never really be DONE studying.

Ok so I'm sitting in the library of Thornapple Kellog, waiting for the Astronomy event and downloading as much as possible. Any suggestions on last minute studies? Or is anybody else even on around here?

LOL hi Stephen.
we got 9th in Astronomy so good job! We got 7th overall

Any opinions of the Frankenmuth Invitational?

I thought the Frankenmuth invitational was great, especially with 40 schools there. All of my tests were by the rules and well run, and even more they had a bunch of cool stuff to pass the time like Rock Band, Pentathlon, and Science Olympiad Feud. The only complaint I had was them stuffing our team into one tiny table in the cafeteria... we only had ten team members and there wasn't enough room. That's a really small complaint compared to how smoothly the rest of the competition went.

keep in mind that we had to situate more people than the number of students in our school (or close to it. idk for sure) so seating was quite difficult.

is there any way I could get some of the test from that Inv.? We were supposed to go to the WOSO one and it was way to late for our school to sign up to go to any of the others. If possible I would like the Fossils, Env Chem, and the materials from experimental Design [running out of stuff to use].

I was personally a bit disappointed in the Frankenmuth Tournament. The Forensics and Chem Lab tests had no lab portions, which seems a bit odd, the Astronomy had no picture questions and very few math problems, and other problems seemed to occur to my teammates as well. There was an addition mistake in the scoring for Experimental Design, nationals only material on the Anatomy test, and a few other complaints I can't remember. The school was nice, and the organizers seemed to be trying to make everything work, but I wish that the tests would have stuck a little closer to the official rules of what they are supposed to cover. Also, what was the Science Olympiad Feud (and where): we were looking for it but couldn't find it?

As for the individual events, Frankenmuth did not write any of them. And the Feud was in the auditorium while we waited for scores to be calculated.
