I remember this event! I dominated it at regionals (won 2 years in a row). I just wish I could have tried it at State

VA doesn't have Road Scholar at Regionals. I wonder why this is...

How can you not have an event that is part of Science Olympiad? I understand that happening at invites.. but at Regionals this is where points count.

Tournament directors at all levels have some leeway in what events to run. Some states actually run modified versions of certain events and publish their own state-specific rules online. For example, last year in Ohio we didn't run SumoBots as a full event for various reasons.

Agreed; we also don't run trial/demo events at States like others do.

Make sure you have all of your resources...and since you can have as many reference materials as you want it doesn't hurt to cram your binder with information.

Check out the
Road Scholar Test Exchange for practice tests. However you might have to find the map online since they don't include the maps.

Related to Dos Equis?
Another good way to help is to just look at maps. Seriously. Just get a whole bunch of topo and highway maps and try to get familiar with them, their layouts, and the information on it. It's really helpful, and if you're like me, it's fun.
