Registration is Now Open Sept 9, 2020
Register your team today! To accommodate distance learning, all Regional Tournaments and the State Tournament in Southern California this year will follow the Mini Science Olympiad model where students compete from home. To support our teams and to accomodate more students who will not be able to particpiate in their normal extracurricular activities, we have lowered the membership dues to $260 per team and removed the limit on the number of teams per school that can participate at our tournament.
The 2020-2021 Official rules are now available for free at http://store.soinc.org/. We will be announcing the events for our tournaments after reviewing the alternate events recommended by the National Science Olympiad.
Below are some new resources for teams:
- New Coaches Google Group
- Scioly.org Student Forum and Sample Tests
- New Scioly.org Student Discord Discussion Chat
Don't forget to also sign up for the following:
BEARSO Invitational on Sat, Oct 10: Invitational Tournaments
are practices for your teams and do not have impact on Regional or State standing. This invitational is run by
alumni and National Event Supervisors and it's a great way to find out what tournaments will look like this year.
MySO: a 9-month, calendar-based set of activities and
tests to keep individual students engaged in Science Olympiad at home, at school and afterschool. Students participate
in the team tournament concurrently with MySO.

Workshop Series that will run on 4 Saturdays this fall (9/19, 9/26, 10/17, 10/24). Registration is $100.
