Each state automatically receives one national tournament invitation for each division. States with the highest registration numbers by division are then awarded a second national tournament invitation, up to a total of 60 teams per division. Currently, there are 48 states with Division C organizations and 47 states with Division B organizations. Thus, the 12 states with the most Division C teams will receive two Division C national tournament invitations, and the 13 states with the most Division B teams will receive two Division B national tournament invitations. In the event that a state organization declines its national tournament invitation for either division, the invitation passes to the state with the highest team registration in that division that has not already been awarded a second invitation for that division.

I see that you are from California. California's registration numbers are sufficient to ensure it two national tournament invitations per division. However, as California holds two state tournaments per division -- one for Northern California and one for Southern California -- exactly one team per division from each of these geographic regions will receive a national tournament invitation.

Is the schedule on the nationals website final? I am in entomology and my partner is in ento, widi, rocks, and meteo. However, he has a huge event conflict with ento, meteo, and widi. Is this schedule final or is it a "rough draft"? Here's the link: http://www.scienceolympiad2014.com/schedule_master.html
2013-14 (Northridge, Regionals, New Albany, State, Nats)
Boom: 16, 2, 11,10,48
Ento: 2, 1, 5, 2,10 :mrgreen:
Ex Des: 1, 2, 2, 2,16
Team: 3,1,7,2,42

2014-15 (Northridge, Regionals) (x means conflict)
Simple: 1,1

The National Schedule is final when the rules are released in the fall. The only changes at this point would be events changing rooms.
