Hey everyone! It's that time of the year - registration is opening up TOMORROW AT NOON PST for the second annual Golden Gate Science Olympiad Invitational! Our tournament is slated for January 27, 2018 at UC Berkeley. Our registration portal and additional tournament information can be found on our website at http://goldengateso.com/. Be sure to read our registration policy prior to registering. We have space to accommodate 40 teams and 2 teams may be registered per school. If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this thread, shoot me a private message, or shoot us an email at goldengatescioly@gmail.com.

We're pumped for the 2018 season and we hope to see you in Berkeley this winter!

Hi everyone - just to give a brief update on what's happening with registration, we reached our cap of 40 teams late on Thursday night. We will be sending out final confirmation emails this weekend pending new information on room availability.

For those who registered after we reached capacity, you have been placed on a waitlist. We will accept teams off the waitlist by time of registration. Depending on room availability, we may be able to host more teams than our original cap of 40 - we are going to try to accommodate as many teams as possible!

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us an email at goldengatescioly@gmail.com.

4. Mira Loma (assuming they're split)
5. Bayard Rustin
6. Brookwood
7. Ed W. Clark
8. Northwood

Also Iolani is pretty good, but no idea whether they'll be bringing a full team or just a few people like last year.

They will be using National Rules again this year right?

They are using regional rules this year, just as they did in the past.

For anyone wondering, this is the source. It's in the fifth bullet down in the Competition Day Policies section.

Golden Gate should be exciting Camas just beat Mira Lomas 3 teams (no idea if they split their talent) and placed 17 points behind Palo Alto at Mira Lomas Invitational. Should be a very competitive tournament

Mira Loma seems to often split their talent/not show their best builds in order to not get their ideas stolen and experiment with the unstacked method, ya know?

Is anyone running a live event scoresheet for the invite?
