A few things:
Can we not fill this thread with complaints about how much you hate this event?
Instead mabye see if you can come up with practice ideas and try to tell people tasks/questions they used at your competitions.

Well, it would be fairly easy to come up with questions for the knowledge part of the exam:
Sort rocks by type
Sort elements by Solid, Liquid, gas
Dichotomous Key
Cladogram etc.
and then physical tasks:
jump rope
mini-obstacle course
shoot a basketball
old tasks from previous competitions
Just time yourself and try to get better i guess.

Well, we can't post in that one now, can we? If you want to you can create a new one in General Chat, that's probably where it would fit the most.

Diseases
Famous Scientists
Famous Inventions
Identifying Rocks
Kingdoms(Life)
Rock Cycle
States of Matter
Water Cycle
