How To Register

• Online Registration for 2013 PA Science Olympiad is now closed. The deadline was Jan. 31, 2013. 

Registrants receive a confirmation email and a voucher to print and send with a check for the registration fee.

School districts entering multiple teams from multiple schools must register each school individually. However, multiple registration fees may be issued in one check.

Additional teams from the same school may register for Invitational Tournaments only.

Registration Fees
The fee to register a team for the regional tournament is $225. The fee to register for a new team or a school that has not registered a team in the last five years is $200. The registration fee covers both national and state fees.

Teams will not be permitted to compete at either invitational or regional competitions until the registration fee is received and processed.

A $65 late fee will be assessed in addition to the registration fee (total $290) if a registration form or payment is received after the deadline and before Jan. 31 .

Registration fees defrays costs (manuals, medals, trophies, event materials) and entitles a school to:

• membership in National Science Olympiad
• the Science Olympiad Coaches’ Manual with rules
• eligibility to participate at the first level (Regional) of competition
• advancement to the State and National Tournament if qualified

Supervisors and Judges
Each team MUST provide an event supervisor or judge when registering. After being a coach for five years, it is expected that the team provide an event supervisor.

• Supervisors are responsible for designing the test/task/evaluation form, bringing necessary supplies, and running the event on the day of competition.
• Judges assist in running and scoring the event on the day of competition and don't need expertise in the topic (can be a parent).

Manuals
Coaches’ manuals will be mailed First Class to the designated address as soon as possible after the receipt of the completed membership form.
