Checklist for getting started: 2025-2026 Event Rules are available from Nationals at soinc.org Before you Register: 1. Get the pdf of this year’s Rules for free from National Science Olympiad at soinc.org – be advised that several new events are introduced each year, and some recurring events change their focus, so every year you need new rules (Be sure to keep checking the National site for FAQ’s and rule updates and corrections. These may be posted throughout the season and can be critical to success in your events) 2. If you are new to Science Olympiad, use the miscioly.org website to find out your correct region and contact the regional director to get on their e-mail list so you can keep up with communications. When you're Ready to Register: 3. Register your team with State and Nationals (its one step for both) at miscioly.org. We can't stress this enough. You cannot compete in regionals or invitationals if you are not registered with state and nationals. Registration is now open! As in years past, registration will occur through the State Board's website. Fees are listed below, but note that prices increase after December 19, 2025. $275 - State Primary team registration $135 - State Alternate (JV) team registration $75 - Regional team registration NOTE: $25 check fee applies 4. Register your team for Regionals. Do this precisely. You don’t want to accidentally register for the wrong Regional! When in doubt, confirm with your regional director how to register. Regional registration is INCLUDED on Avogadro after you register at the State and National Level. 5. Consider Registering for Invitationals. These are a great way to practice, and to give junior team members a chance to compete. Many will posted on Avogadro to make registration easy! 6. Attend (or view) the coaches’ clinic(s) to get tips on how to coach this years events – a listing of local coaches’ clinics and build workshops can be found on the Michigan Science Olympiad page here. If you need help finding them, don’t hesitate to ask your Regional leadership! |
2025 Team Registration ***Registration deadline to avoid $100 late fee charges is mid December (date TBD)*** The last date to register to count in our Region's total for state bids is end of January (date TBD). The number of state bids we receive is a percentage of the teams we have registered before the deadline, if you register after that, it makes our region more competitive (more teams vying for the same number of spots at States), so please register on time! This year State is replacing Avogadro with Duosmium for registrations, payment, scheduling, scoring, and management of Michigan Science Olympiad tournaments. When you register for State, this will still be combined as one step to also register for Nationals. You will also select your Regional and register for that. When you "check out," you can then make just one payment to cover all three.
