At invitationals they let you do it with three, at the cost of a penalty; however, don't expect this to happen at regionals, states, or, if you make it, nationals.

At Regionals, we had the usual dribbling a basketball through cones, toss foam balls into a container of some sort, and the 4-person run-while-holding-on-to-a-hula-hoop. I didn't see the individual questions (I wasn't competing), but the team question seemed to be to name the planets in reverse order (Neptune -> Mercury).

Well, good luck at the high school. I'm moving up as well, and due to complications involving grade levels in our school district next year, I'm not sure if anyone is going to remain on our junior high team.

And he lives in Michigan...which is the really weird part. I think sci oly was founded in MI

But ya, definitely try to start a team, even if you have less than 15 people, just get a teacher/parent to sponsor/"coach" you and ur all set....in a year or two, you'll probably have more members...

But ya, TRY to start a team...if you dont you may always regret it...i know id die without sci oly...
