UNC Chapel Hill Science Olympiad Invitational

[AstroClarinet]

Hey everyone!

We're Carolina Science Olympiad (CarSO), the Science Olympiad alumni group of UNC-Chapel Hill, and we're excited to announce that we will be hosting our first Division C invitational! The tournament will run virtually on January 22, 2022, with an optional in-person build portion on Sunday, January 23rd. Build events will be run as trial events, and will not contribute to overall team score.

Registration is currently open, and will close on November 30. The registration fee is $40, plus $20 per additional team. If this fee presents a burden to your team, please contact us by email or via our website, as fee waivers may be available. The tournament will host a maximum of 60 teams, with preference given to NC teams.

All events will follow North Carolina state rules, but may use national-level questions for tiebreakers. We will also be running NC-only events Bottle Rocket, Picture This, Mystery Architecture, and Fast Facts. Science Olympiad alumni may apply to write a test, with a preference for current UNC students.

We hope to see everyone in January!

We're still looking for Division C teams to register for a virtual day of exciting STEM! Tests will be written and reviewed by a dedicated team of college students, to create a hassle-free experience for you and your team to get ready for states and regionals.

Though we have a registration fee of $40 for the first team and $20 for every additional team, we are more than happy to provide fee waivers to relieve any financial burdens from underresourced teams.

Questions? Don't hesitate to ask them here on the forums or to contact us via our website. We appreciate all teams who've registered so far, and hope you'll take the time to join us!

Results:

1. Panther Creek (68)
2. Green Level (83)
3. Walnut (CA) (95)
4. Northview (GA) (111)
5. Raleigh Charter (112)
6. Ardrey Kell (126)

Builds were run as trials for teams that wished to get some practice in, so scores were lower than normal. Overall, we had a great inaugural tournament!
