2015 National Tournament: University of Nebraska

[azuritemalachite]

Let me revive this thread.
On a side note, it wasn't THAT hard to navigate through the campus if you went on Friday to find your events. If I go this year, I'm going to try to pretend to be a college student and give directions. They'll probably be incorrect or bad, but oh well.

My friend is from Nebraska and I'm pretty sure that at least one of her parents went to the University of Nebraska if not worked there, so I think it'll be fun this year. Plus, there is a possibility of flying there and back which is pretty cool.

Trial events are up: http://www.scienceolympiad2015.com/schedule_master.html
Hmmm, in Division B when they say GPS...is it going to be a new trial or something along the lines of Geocaching?

I would think it would be similar to geocaching, but it's curious that they put it in B. B already has a similar event (Road Scholar) while C does not (Remote Sensing was closest, but is out. GeoMapping? Ehh.)

Other thoughts:

Glad to see Game On back on the schedule. Very interested to see how Science Bowl works out. Hydrogeology sounds interesting too, and a lot of C divisioners will already have experience with that through Aquifers, DP, etc back when B division was pretty much all water. That should be a competitive event.

On that geocaching note, I think it'll be fun to have some sort of geocache hunt going around at Nats since people all over the country, even out of the country, are going to be there.

Geocaching in cornfields... anybody?

Science Bowl seems like a fun trial event.

Not many people actually care about Nebraska, exactly, so not many people know what really happens there. So the only thing we know are cornfields and farmers. Now, the media just emphasizes it, and we all know the evil people behind the media use brainwashing techniques. Don't worry slytherin, nobody really cares about Minnesota either. Although, we have an abundance of lakes, we are so much more.

Does anyone know the team count for all the states (aka which states can send two teams to nationals)?
