UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls

Science Olympiad

Awards & Scoring

2024 Information coming soon!

 

The tournament will be broken down into two divisions based on high school enrollment. We will consider requests from coaches to place a team in a specific division, regardless of enrollment. Medals will be awarded to the top four finishers in both divisions in all 28 events in the tournament. Team trophies will be awarded to the top four teams in both divisions of the tournament. National Scoring will be used to calculate team scores (1 point for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, etc…low score wins), and every teams’ five worst event scores will be dropped when calculating team scores, compensating for the five Wisconsin Science Olympiad events. Only one trophy can be earned by a school. A spirit award will be awarded to the high school team which displays the most positive team spirit, as voted on by the event supervisors.

The new version of Avogadro has a presentation system integrated to allow for immediate presentation of results. We will work hard to quickly and accurately conduct the awards ceremony, while still creating a memorable experience for all students involved.
