This competition in Wisconsin is called State Competition. The winning team at this State Competition, the school with the most points, advances to represent Wisconsin at the 2001 National Science Olympiad finals to be held at Colorado College in Colorado Springs on May 18-19, 2001.
Many states have multiple levels of competition, like sports do.
A school's team consists of 15 competing students, only 7 of which may be seniors, plus their assistants and alternates. Many schools get 30 - 40 or more students involved in the actual preparation and competition. You can have as many coaches and parents involved as you like. Wisconsin Division C groups the competing schools into small and large. The overall State Champion could be a small school or a large school.
