| Q: |
Where will I be able to put all
my stuff when I get to IUN? |
| A: |
At registration your school will be assigned
a classroom which will serve as your homeroom for the day. Use
it as headquarters for the day. Please clean up the room at the
end of the day. |
| Q: |
Can my team be larger than 15
students? |
| A: |
Yes and no. Strictly speaking the maximum is
15. However, the Indiana Science Olympiad Committee agreed that
additional students (alternates) could participate. However, these additional
students are restricted to the trial events only. Additional
students will be identified at registration. |
| Q: |
Will all B and C events be offered
at the IUN tournament? |
| A: |
Our goal is to offer all A and B events that
count towards the team's overall standing. Unforeseeable circumstances
such as illness or inability to find a judge may force the cancellation
of an event. |
| Q: |
Which trial events are most likely
to be offered? |
| A: |
Periodically refer to the B and C Division event
links |
| Q: |
What happens to the outdoor events
if the weather is rotten on tournament day? |

We persevere one way or another. |
| Q: |
Who will advance to the state
tournament at Bloomington? |
| A: |
First, second and third place teams will advance.
However, it may also be possible for a close fourth place team
to advance. The state director and membership director will make
the final decision. |
| Q: |
Who will receive trophies? |
| A: |
First, second and third place trophies will be
awarded to schools. However, if enough teams participate then we could have A and AA divisions (based on school population) and thus two sets of trophies would be available. |
| Q: |
Who will receive medals? |
| A: |
Gold, Silver and Bronze medals will be awarded
to first, second and third place students in an event (including trial events). |
| Q: |
What if I have a question about
a judge's decision? |
| A: |
Judges are given wide latitude how they will
handle their event. Therefore their decision will usually be
the last word. However, in the unusual situation where a coach
insists on mediation there will be an Arbitration committee.
The decision of this committee is final. |
| Q: |
If I or a student has a question
about an event who can I contact? |
| A: |
Feel free to contact the tournament director at ndeleon@iun.edu.
We will make every effort to reply quickly. |
| Q: |
What is a prescheduled event? |
| A: |
In a prescheduled event teams are given specific
time slots to demonstrate their event-specific skills. These
time slots will be determined and communicated to teams prior
to the tournament. |
