Georgia Specific SOP (Science Olympiad Provisions)
1. For schools who have greater than 2 teams, only up to 2 medals
will be awarded during the Awards ceremony with any additional medals
given to the team coach after the awards ceremony. Also, just a
reminder that schools (not teams) win the overall plaques, trophies,
or invitations to the State or National tournaments.
2. National Science Olympiad requires that students must live in 3
contiguous counties to go to the National tournament. In Georgia, we
will waive this rule for regionals and State, but we encourage any
homeschool or other team to recompose their team adequately to satisfy
this ruling if awarded to compete in the National tournament.
3. Wristbands are required for competition. Check with your
tournament site director if a school with multiple teams needs to wear
varying color wrist bands.
4. For the Forestry event, regional competitions will only use the
Georgia Tree list. For the State tournaments in Georgia, we will also add the Eastern region tree
list for state level competition.
All other rules are based on the interpretation of National Science
Olympiad including any clarifications posted on their website of
http://www.soinc.org.
