OLYMPIAD INVITATIONAL
AND PRACTICE TOURNAMENTS
The olympiad competition should be viewed just as an athletic competition.
Both require practice. One way to practice is through practice
invitational tourneys. Please consider organizing a practice tournament.
Usually 1-2 schools will host a practice tournament.
Some key aspects of invitationals:
- Most, if not all, events are held. Some sites will
opt to do only some of the events.
- Often times, more than one team from a school may participate
in a given event.
- Schools participating are usually responsible for running one
or more events.
- Invitationals are great ways to practice and to increase student
and parent interest and also.
- GASO would like to see more practice
tournaments in November, December, or January. Help is available
from the director in organization, communication etc.
- Schools hosting a practice/invitational tournament will receive
$150 from GASO to use in their Science Olympiad program.
- A listing of invitational tournaments will appear on this page
and What’s New page as information is received.
