The information below should not be interpreted as an extension of the rules. The official rules in the current Rules Manual take precedence. There is a DVD on Tower Building (updated for 2012!) in the Science Olympiad Store! The winners of the gold medal at the 2011 National Tournament were awarded $1,000 scholarships on behalf of Army ROTC!
