Event(s) in boldface formatting are new for 2012
Event(s) in italic formatting are not in the manual and descriptions will be provided.
Important: Your team may include up to fifteen (15) students only—you will be limited to fifteen students the day of the Science Olympiad. Most events are organized for two students from each school team to participate—you will select two students to represent your school in the event. You may not send more than one set of two students to participate in any given event unless an exception is published for a certain event(s). Yes, this often means that some students may represent your team in only one or two events.
Event Times: All events will be completed in 30-minute time blocks. In all cases, the schedule will take precedence over the time suggested in the Coaches Manual.
