We will run the events listed here. The scored events should be very familiar to teams, and we hope that our creative trials will be fun to compete in as well.
Why attend the Mason Invite?
- High-quality tests. All events have a Mason competitor, alumnus, or coach as a contributing test writer, and many more as part of the review process. We hear your gripes with low test quality because we’ve seen it numerous times ourselves, and look to give the attending teams a challenging yet pleasing experience. In addition, we plan to release tests, keys, and histograms after the tournament.
- Good timing. Our invite’s date of March 20th serves as a great opportunity to practice before the state tournaments of many areas, especially our native Ohio. With great tests and competition, attending teams will be able to practice for the all-important postseason.
- Fun! By incorporating refreshing trial events, post-tournament games, and a mole-design contest (stay tuned) we hope to cut through some of the monotony of this digital season and offer a personal touch. Beyond medals, 1st place winners will also receive fun prizes based on the event! Specific prizes will be released soon.
More information can be found on our Scilympiad page (our website is currently under construction). Please send us an email at masonscio@gmail.com if anything should need to be cleared up!
Note: information regarding the awards ceremony, fun prizes, merch, post-competition games, and payment methods will be released shortly.
