Team Check-In
- ALL Coaches need to check-in between 7:15 am and 8:15 am at the Student Union 3rd Floor where you will pick up the team folder(s).
- Because we will NOT have an opening ceremony at Hardin, we will not have any coach check-in at Hardin Hall. Drop your students off that need to be there and head to the Student Union instead.
NO OPENING CEREMONY
- The Middle School Parade of Flags will be held at the closing ceremony. Create your banners, flags, and swag and choose two students to be in the parade. Have fun with this!
- An Optional Coaches Meeting will be held in the Student Union in the Great Plains Room at 8:20 am. This meeting is OPTIONAL. Suggested for new coaches who have questions.
CLOSING CEREMONIES (Shooting for 5:00 pm)
- Division B - Student Union in the Great Plains Room
- Division C - Hardin Hall in the Hardin Auditorium
Tournament Day Reminders
- Cell phones, Apple Watches, AI glasses, and similar devices are not allowed at any Science Olympiad event. Please remind your students so they do not accidentally bring them and risk disqualification.
- Do remind them to bring eye protection and other required supplies for their own events.
- If you are bringing both divisions to the State Tournament, please bring a second adult supervisor (parent or teacher) to help.
- Finally, please remind your students that we are all guests at each host site. Please encourage your students to clean up after themselves and leave spaces as they found them.
