This is my second year to compete. Does anybody know what the history of the event is? Where did it take place. People keep talking about a two year rotation. Also, they say that there used to be different events.

there used to be an event rotation up on the soinc website but it has been removed. Events usually rotate out after 2 years. Similar events take their place. For example fossils took rocks and minerals place and reach for the stars took the solar system's place.

It was removed because they (the National board) decided to scrap it. Apparently the committees had worked it out, but the board overruled them in the context of some kind of infighting among the committees. It's all very vague, to me at least. It's a pity, too - it would be useful to know what was coming around the bend.

I have a printout of the rotation somewhere that I could probably scan...but it's useless anyway as they never seem to follow it.

not all events rotate every 2 years
anatomy has been here for the 3 years i've been here and before that is was called health science or something
but they do rotate the systems every year for anatomy

Are those events for division C? I have never heard of food science, but I am in division B.
