The 2027 PUSO Invitational will be in person on February 6th, 2027. We look forward to
welcoming everyone to campus!
Competition Policies
All events will be run by Science Olympiad alumni who have medaled at Nationals or the
State level, and all tests/labs will be revised by our executive board for
consistency, quality and appropriate difficulty spread.
All tests and keys with raw score statistics will be made available to teams after
competition.
Each team must be accompanied by one unique adult. Schools with two teams must thus be
accompanied by two unique adults.
The tournament schedule will be based off and adhere closely to the national
tournament schedule.
All events will follow the national Science Olympiad Inc. rules posted at
store.soinc.org, as well as
clarifications posted at
soinc.org/events/rules-clarifications
and FAQs posted at
soinc.org/events/frequently-asked-questions. For events whose rules or content differ with the level of competition, we will
adhere to the rules specified at the national level unless otherwise announced.
Competitors must adhere to the code of ethics and policies outlined at
soinc.org/join/policies.
Competitors, parents and coaches may photograph and record videos of their own team's
build devices but may not do so for another team without permission. We will have
staff photographers take photos throughout the day and post these photos afterwards.
