2006 B EVENT EVALUATION

Each year, the National Olympiad organization meets after the national tournament to determine the events that will be used the following year. The general rule of thumb is that within each division (life sciences, earth sciences, etc) one event can be replaced, one event can be modified slightly, and the remainder of the events remain unchanged. Please help us to make the Olympiad even better by evaluating ALL of the events in your division. It is very important that Georgia have a large number of responses.
