2006 C 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.

For each event, indicate whether it should remain unchanged, be kept but modified, or eliminated. Remember only one event per category may be changed and only one may be eliminated. At the end of each section, please provide a brief explanation as to why you feel the event should be eliminated.
