2026 Division C Rules.pdf

This is the official Science Olympiad rules manual for the 2024-2025 season. It seems lengthy, but you only need to read the rules for your event. Printing them out and annotating them is highly recommended.

If you don’t read these rules, you won’t know what to study when preparing for a tournament and you won’t be prepared for the specific information on the test. This is the ESSENTIAL first step to preparation.

Please note that all links from here on out won’t be super helpful for events that are build-only. The rules will be your greatest friend for build events.

These links will be best for study, lab, and hybrid events.
