To register for an invitational or the state tournament, teams must pay the Science Olympiad membership fee of $150 per team. This fee covers each team's national ($75) and state ($75) membership. There are not any additional fees for the state tournament, but there may be additional fees for some invitational tournaments.
A team is composed of fifteen students or less from one school in one of the two divisions: B division (middle school) and C division (high school). Only one team per division per school may compete in the state tournament.
