Bay Area Science Olympiad Tournament

Announcements

11/20/25

Thank you to everyone who has registered and submitted payment for the regional tournament. Remember, you may not participate in an invitational tournament unless you have registered and paid for the Regional Tournament. The regional tournament fees include the state and national registration fees.

Registration deadline is January 15. (I moved this back a little to make it a bit easier with the holidays.)

Payment deadline is February 1. If you have any issues, please contact me so that we can make arrangements.

I have also included our draft schedule here. I do not have team numbers assigned quite yet, but this will give you what you need to plan for.

Welcome to the 2025-2026 Science Olympiad season! Registration for the Bay Area Regional Tournament is now open. Letta Meyer (barsodirector@gmail.com) is the current regional director for the Bay Area Region in Northern California

The Bay Area Region consists of schools from the Bay Area that are NOT located in Alameda or Santa Clara County.  If your school is located in Santa Clara County, contact James Hill (sccscioly@gmail.com) for registration information. If your school is located in Alameda County, contact Peter Hung (peterhung@norcalscioly.org) for registration information.

For the 2025-2026 season, we will continue to lift the limit on the number of teams that a school can enter. The registration fee will be $400/team. The Regional tournament will be on Saturday, March 14, 2026 at College of San Mateo. We are thrilled to return to our same host site as last year. College of San Mateo is a fantastic site to work with. The tentative schedule for the Regional Tournament will be posted soon as well. In the meantime, the list of 2026 events can be found here and the 2025-2026 rules are available at the soinc.org.

Please remember that you MUST be registered and fees paid before you can participate in any Invitational tournaments. Invitational Tournaments can be found here. Registration for many of these tournaments fill up very fast.

We also have a new NorCal Science Olympiad webpage!  This page has lots of different resources available!!!  It can be found at: https://www.norcalscioly.org/
