Welcome to the 2021-2022 Season
September 9, 2021
The rules manuals were released earlier this week and they are available for free at
https://www.soinc.org/rules-2022.
Please remember not to post these PDFs or send them as an attachment. National Science Olympiad
requests that all players, coaches and officials download their own copies and agree to their stipulations.
Registration will begin Monday, September 13, 2021, at
https://scilympiad.com/socal.
San Diego teams should register here.
All of the Regional Tournaments are currently planned to be part of the SoCal Joint-Regional
Tournament. Most Regionals will be using the Satellite Tournament Model on Saturday, Feb 26, 2022.
In the Satellite Tournament Model, teams will be competing at their own school under the supervision
of their coaches. On tournament day, the written tests will be provided through the Scilympiad platform
and the construction events will be demonstrated at your own school through video calls with the Event Supervisor.
As safety and health guidelines and host site availability change between now and February, we may
change the model to a Hybrid-Satellite Model or a Mini Model. If there are changes to the model, we will
update you with the information. We will finalize the tournament model on January 7, 2022.
The 2022 SoCal Events and schedule are available
here.
The schedule and event conflicts are based on the National Tournament schedule found at the end of the rules manual. Click
here to
view how each model of the tournament will affect if the event will be a medal-only event or if it'll
count toward the team total.
