I agree. NJ always has some whack conflicts each year (like last year's herp/fossils conflict)

On first glance this seems better than usual for us

But in general, my issue with it is that different teams have different conflicts, which isn't fair (historically speaking)

The new schedule is only worse.... botany and protein conflict?? Old one was more logical tbh..
Throwing a potential solution out there: could make the botany (trial event) a signup

Alternatively, wouldn't signup trial events make more sense?
