Anyone thinks new stuff will be added to the event this year?

Probably not. A lot of event supervisors didn't use most of the questions they could have (like UTM, profiling, etc). I haven't read the draft rules for Road Scholar though, so I don't know. Good luck to everyone in this event- I'm disappointed I can't do it again.

Well, the National event supervisor this year used basically everything on the rules. But it was Nationals, so the test was guaranteed to be complicated and long. Are you going into 10th grade?

Yes, I am. It's good the Nationals test used everything, but for example, our state test featured only build-a-map, topo, and highway.

I liked how it used to be. I hope it stays the same and they don't add GPS.

What do you exactly mean by GPS? And isn't it more related to Remote Sensing?

in one of the predicted event tables, it said they might add GPS. and what do you mean more like RS?

Remote sensing, to my knowledge, uses GPS for a large part of the event.

oh, ok.
