Are you sure the method given for scoring is correct? I know at state and regional copetitions 1st is given 11 points (it's higher at state), 2nd gets 10 points, etc. highest score wins.
not to be rude,but what do you think about plattsburg MO"s team? i mean they always smoke regionals and they do really well. i think they might go all the wya this year

Scoring wise, I think the article is correct- there are many different ways to do it. At nationals, and the way it is done in NJ, they give 1 point for first place, 2 for second, 3 for third and so on. At the same time, I believe some states do it differently.

In the scoring method where lower scores are better, isn't there a maximum value, significantly lower than the number of competing teams, that a team can get for an event, for instance 11th, 12th, and 13th place and so forth get 11 points for the event? If two teams competed in three events each at Nationals, one getting 1st, 1st, and 50th in the three events and the other getting 8th in all three, wouldn't the team with two firsts and a 50th have the better overall score? The article suggests, by induction, that a placing of 50th in an event would stick a team with 50 points, which sounds strange, but possible, to me. --Allen 08 August 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.242.36.165 ( talk) 11:07, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
There's been some inconsistency for a while about the event list and their respective descriptions, so I'd like to check: should we create descriptions for all the events, or put the event list without any description? Just wondering... -- Havocrazy 03:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Should Science olympiad aritcles be a subcategory of Olympiad? I just thought of that. Munkee madness 19:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure in other places, but in Ohio, Awesome Aquifer was removed, as was heredity. I don't want to make changes because I'm not sure of the other locations. S♦s♦e♦b♦a♦l♦l♦o♦s ( Talk to Me) 01:56, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I fixed the winner for the 2006 B-divison competition. Booth was the winner. http://www.indiana.edu/~nso/tournament/news.shtml for official results if you want to verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.209.157 ( talk) 02:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I haven't ever heard of Canada competing. They are not on the results sheets from the national competition. They aren't on the membership map either. http://www.soinc.org/aboutso/membership.htm Smartkid2 ( talk) 13:13, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
Canada sometimes sends one or two teams to compete in the National competition. GotMoney999 ( talk) 21:44, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
The Storm the Castle article seems too short to stand on its own; its content would be better merged into the main article. If the events content gets large, then a Science Olympiad Events article may be justified, but probably no specific event would be sufficiently substantial enough for its own article.

BTW gj with updating the 2009 national winner so fast. I didn't think it would be done so quickly. Anyway thanks for doing the work for me I guess. 209.6.208.21 ( talk) 00:32, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Should we put state winners on the page? I think it is a good idea but it would take up to much space. How do all of you think of it? GotMoney999 ( talk) 21:46, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
I think that's a good idea. :) After all, I hope to be one myself! Just one tip: Ecology and Dynamic Planet: Ugh. I didn't do so well...I mean, I guess it was okay, but...the test was really hard, asking stuff like about the pollution lvl of nyc rivers, and sources, and exact percentages of river pollution in US. like, it was nothing on the study sheets, kind of unfair.

What is considered a secondary source? A significant amount of interpretation is posted to online discussion forums (e.g. the Science Olympiad Student Center) with little that I can find in the way of accurate secondary sources - news articles written about Science Olympiad are frequently rife with blatant inaccuracies. What parts of the page specifically could benefit from more secondary source references? -- 71.59.14.12 ( talk) 01:08, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
For subjects not currently in this years contest, do we remove them or something else or just plain out keep them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marshmallo3535 ( talk • contribs) 01:34, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
Should I migrate the "Events and event history" section to a list article?
Also, if I were to migrate, should I get rid of past years' events and only list the current year's? Should I also get rid of past years' events in the main article as well?
