A school team membership fee must accompany the completed
membership application form thirty days before your regional
or state tournament. This fee entitles the member school to a
copy of the Science Olympiad Coaches and Rules Manual plus the
eligibility to have up to 15 students participate at the first
level of competition in your state, i.e., district,
invitational, regional, or state tournament. A percentage of
winning teams will remain eligible to continue on to the next
level. At the national level each state will send one team per
division and the states with larger membership will be invited
to send two teams per division. It is important that schools
submit a membership fee early to receive a copy of the rules.
Specific rules have been developed for each event and need to
be read carefully so the team can compete successfully.
Schools are encouraged to develop many teams (some schools
involve the entire student body). Most states and regions
restrict tournament participation to one team per school,
others encourage multiple memberships. Some schools have as
many as ten separate paid memberships and all ten participate
in tournaments. State Tournament Directors will notify schools
if multiple memberships are permitted. If multiple teams are
permitted, each team must have a full membership and a
separate coach. Only one team per school is permitted to
represent their state at the National Finals. Some states also
limit the number of teams that can advance from regional
tournaments.
