I pledge to put forth my best effort in the Science Olympiad tournament and to uphold the principles of honest competition. In my events I will compete with integrity, respect, and sportsmanship towards my fellow competitors. I will display courtesy towards Event Supervisors and Tournament Personnel. My actions will exemplify the proud spirit of my school, team, and state.
On behalf of the coaches and assistants at this tournament, I pledge to encourage honesty and respect for tournament personnel, our fellow coaches, and other team members. We want our efforts to bring honor to our community and school.
On behalf of the parents and spectators I pledge to be an example for our children by: respecting the rules of Science Olympiad, encouraging excellence in preparation and investigation, supporting independence in design and production of all competition devices, and respecting the decisions of event supervisors and judges. Our examples will promote the spirit of cooperation within and among all our participating teams.
On behalf of my fellow supervisors and tournament personnel, I pledge to run my event with fairness and respect for the participants and their coaches. Our actions will reflect the principles of the Science Olympiad program and display the pride we feel as representatives of our colleges, universities, companies, states or organizations.
At the conclusion of the Science Olympiad National Tournament Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 18, 2022, a copy of the final scores for the tournament will be posted to this page. A team's head coach has one hour from the end of the Awards Ceremony to submit compelling evidence of a scoring inconsistency using the Team Ranking Inquiry Form. If the evidence is verified, the appropriate points, medals and trophies will be awarded for that team only. Thinking that your team "did better" than scores reflect is not considered compelling evidence. Teams will not be asked to return awards or relinquish any points. Scores for the 2022 Science Olympiad National Tournament are not official until they are posted on the Science Olympiad website as Official Results. For more information about scoring please see Science Olympiad's Policies page.
Final tournament results are now available. Congratulations to our Division B Science Olympiad National Champions, Sierra Vista Middle School from Irvine, California and Division C back-to-back Science Olympiad National Champions, Mason High School from Mason, Ohio!
