Hi everyone! We’re here to announce an exciting collaboration between past Science Olympiad National medalists at Stanford and Berkeley: the first annual Golden Gate Invitational. On February 11, 2017, our student groups will co-host an invitational run exclusively by past national competitors and event supervisors, open to teams across the nation. We’re thrilled to be the first university-run invitational on the west coast, and invite anyone interested to check out our website at http://www.goldengateso.com. Make sure to sign up for the mailing list to hear more information this summer and fall!

Talk to us at goldengatescioly@gmail.com, or reply below. We want to know who’s interested and what you’d like to see at the upcoming tournament!

C'mon bear, you let NorCal beat you to it?

First order of business - nowhere on these two posts or on the website does it say which division(s) the tournament includes. I would assume Div C, but clarification would be nice.

Caltech runs official tournaments. ;)

Great point-- Div C only.

I don't know if this was just added, but the linked website has " The inaugural tournament will be held at the UC Berkeley campus on February 11, 2017, for Division C only."

I'm pretty sure it was just added, because I also remember there being no mention of where the tournament would be either (although I've heard a lot about how Stanford is small, so I was working under the assumption that it would be at Berkeley anyway; nice to know I was right).

Is there an estimated amount of teams that will be in attendance at this invitational?

Unrelated: I hope kokonilly is involved with this (why am I so excited?)
