REGISTRATION FOR THE 2022-2023 SEASON IS NOW CLOSED!

Please read all information below before registering with the registration link in the "Registration" section!

​

Please contact the State Director, hssostatetournamentdirector@gmail.com, if your school would like to participate in any HSSO Tournaments this season.

Tournament Info - 2022-2023 Season

All the latest information for the various Division B & C tournaments can be found here.

Schools MUST register to be eligible to compete in any of the events described below! 

Before registering your team, review the Science Olympiad policies (including the team formation/roster rules and the expectations of students, coaches, AND parents).

​

Schools may register any number of teams in Division B and C (in order to compete at any tournament - Invitational, Regional, State, or National - the team must be registered with HSSO).  However, schools may only enter a maximum of 2 teams in each Division to compete in the HSSO Regional Tournaments.  Schools that qualify to advance to the State Finals Tournament in each division may only compete with 1 team at the State Finals Tournament. 

​

NEW TO THE HSSO 2022-2023 SEASON:

​

Teams from Division B and C will compete within one of two “leagues”. Within each Division, all teams from a school will compete in the same league. Selection of a league will persist throughout the season; you will NOT be able to change your league during the season. 

  • Championship League: The first place school in Division B and Division C at the State Tournament from the Championship League will advance to represent Hawaii at the National Tournament. For the 2023 season, the top 3 schools in Division B (‘Iolani, Highlands Intermediate, University Lab) and the top 4 schools in Division C (‘Iolani, Pearl City, Mililani, Waipahu) from the 2022 State Tournament will be placed in the Championship League. For future seasons, the State Director will determine and announce the number of top placing schools from the State Tournament in each Division that will be placed in the Championship League the following season. This determination will normally be announced prior to Registration for the upcoming season.

  • Medalist League: All other schools may choose to compete in either the Championship or the Medalist League. Schools with a choice of which league to compete in will indicate their league choice during registration. The first place schools in Division B and Division C from the Medalist League at the State Tournament will be placed in the Championship League for the next season. Teams competing in the Medalist League are not eligible to advance to the National Tournament.

​

The State Director will assign teams to Regional Tournaments. Regional Tournaments may include a mix of both Championship League teams and Medalist League Teams. The State Director will determine how many schools from each league will advance from each Regional Tournament to the State Tournament. Regional Tournament Directors will determine:

  1. Whether to present event medals and team trophies by league or overall combining both leagues.

  2. How many medals or places will be presented for each event in either league or combined leagues. c.


Regardless of the number of schools advancing from each Regional to the State Tournament, a school advancing to the State Tournament in either league must have fielded a team which competed in at least two-thirds (2/3) of the events at their Regional Tournament, if a Regional Tournament is held for their assigned Region.
