Dorms. Trial events. Tournament schedule. Room lists (especially for flying events!).

I'm checking the website constantly. It's driving me crazy. Hard to make any plans without a schedule of events and dorm info...

When will the list of trial/oldies events be released?

I doubt chalker is significantly involved in that.

Last year, I think chalker posted the tentative trials somewhere. I'll try to find it and edit this post.

Edit: Found it. It was released mid-February too...

@chalker!

Yes, we certainly would like to know the trial events for Nationals. Our state tournament (NM) is so stinking early we have been waiting for a hint for a month now for our alternates to know if they want to make to trip to Ithaca. And the Nationals site is still so empty of information. Very frustrating to try to plan a trip.

^ agreed, NJ states have also finished and it would make a lot of planning easier if trial events + some logistical info regarding dorms and daily schedules were posted

Just my two cents but I have the impression that the presence of the "Oldies but Goodies" events may add some additional events (to the trial events) for alternates to do? I don't know much about this tho so don't necessarily take my word for it. I do remember when filling out the volunteer form they asked me for suggestions for the "Oldies but Goodies" (I told them I wasn't old enough to be familiar with enough events that could qualify for that)

Anyone know when trials are coming out?

The trial events have been posted. Science Bowl and Parasitology for Division B; Detector Building and Environmental Chemistry for Division C.
