Battle of the States Science Olympiad Invitational Registration
Divisions B (grades 6-9) & C (grades 9-12)
Thank you for your interest in the Battle of the States tournament!
This tournament is only open to schools in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Team registration will open this fall, and will remain open through February 1st. New teams can join at any time!
Registration Schedule
Registration will remain open throughout the tournament as long as the team number remains below the limit of 200 teams. To guarantee participation in each session, a team must register at least 3 days prior to that session's start date; however, we will try our best to add teams during sessions as logistics allow. If you would like to register during a session, please reach out to ben@miscioly.org to see if your team may still join.
Payment Information
Price is $9.00 plus PayPal fees.
Only PayPal is accepted as a payment method.
What is included in the fee:
- Access to events offered across three sessions in January 2024, and February 2024. Note that not all events will be offered. There will be at least 16 events per division, but events that are not not conducive to virtual setting may not be run.
- For each event a Champion State and Runner-Up state will be determined, and ribbons will be awarded to the top teams from those two states. Ribbons and shipping are included in the registration price.
What is not included in the fee:
- Medals for individual event rankings are not included in the registration price. This change was made to keep registration costs as low as possible. Medals will be available for purchase for places up to 10th place in each event.
Teams are not officially registered until registration fees are received and processed.
Team Limits
- There is a limit of 5 teams per school. Per the National Policy, all teams and alternate teams must be registered with your State organization. (For example, if you want to enter 2 teams, you must have your main team and an alternate team registered with your state.)
