They didn't even take a full two teams, only 26 of us, they never take full teams
Yikers... how many people typically try out?
75ish, but there's a large amount that only try out for one event (usually Anatomy or Disease or a build)
Holy... have you guys ever considered making 5 teams? That's what we do (we have about the same amount of people tryout), but we bring 3 teams to just regionals.
happy new season!

They could, but I don't think it's worthwhile to take that many when most won't make the final team that year or even by senior year anyways.

Fair enough. It's probably a bit more hassle to bring that many when the regional site isn't located a mile away from your high school. :P

When all the teams competing at regionals live in the same area, but still have to go an hour away for the regional comp.

TMW You have to move to a new city so all the studying you've done for S.O. is pointless :shock:

Also, save for San Diego most regionals in SoCal have historically allowed only one team from each school to attend. (This year, a lot of them are allowing two teams to attend, but that's still not enough to warrant more than two teams IMO.)

That sucks. I know MadCow2357 had to deal with that, but he actually moved to another high school with Science Olympiad (his old district's rivals actually). If your new school doesn't have Science Olympiad, then you could maybe try to form a team.

I mean, they have it (through 6th grade though) and no one would probably band with me to form a team. I'm going to be the awkward new girl so...
