TRIAL EVENTS
Any student from your school may compete in Trial & Exploratory events. That means official competitors, observers, and alternates may compete. The maximum number of competitors per school can be found on the official rules. Trial Events will receive no points but medals are awarded for places 1-3.
In the spirit of Science Olympiad tradition, we are pleased to announce the continuation of hosting Open House/Exploratory Activities for students to participate in during Friday and Saturday. These activities are intended to be interesting learning opportunities, not competitive events. Students may receive various forms of recognition for participation in the activity (e.g., ribbon or certificate but neither points nor medals). These events will be listed on the Master Schedule. Winners in the Exploratory Activities will not be announced, but results may be included in the school packet that will be distributed after the ceremony.
Question: When are trial and exploratory events held?
Answer: All events of all kinds, except Bottle Rocket will be held on Saturday.
