State Science Olympiad

General Rules Revised by the Science Olympiad Rules Committee Chairs and Executive Board, July 2013 (note changes in bold) Students, coaches, event supervisors, parents, and guests are expected to follow current Science Olympiad Rules and Policies. The goal of competition is to give one's best effort while displaying honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship, and not violate the spirit of the problem. All are expected to display courtesy and respect toward one another. Our collective example, as stated in the Science Olympiad Pledges, will promote the spirit of cooperation among all participants. Therefore: 1. Teams may not interpret the rules so that they have an unfair advantage over the rules or another team. 2. Unless otherwise stated, if writing utensils, notes, resources, calculators, actions, etc., are not

excluded, they are permitted unless they violate the spirit of the problem. 3. All non-permitted electronic devices must be turned off and if so directed, left in a designated spot. 4. Once students have entered the event area to compete, they must not communicate with any outside

resources, by any means, unless permitted by event rules and they must not leave until they are finished or have permission from the event supervisor.

5. If a student does not follow accepted safety procedures, he/she will be penalized or disqualified. Students must not bring unsafe items to a tournament.

6. Students, coaches and other adults are responsible for ensuring that any School or Science Olympiad Policy, law or regulation is not broken.

7. One or more of the 15 current team members must have constructed all pre-built devices presented for judging. Any of the current team members may demonstrate or operate the device at the competition unless stated otherwise in the rules. Any student designated by the coach may impound devices.

8. At the supervisor's and tournament director's discretion, a student or team may be penalized, disqualified or removed from an event or the tournament, depending upon the level of the infraction.

9. A participant, coach or guest who fails to show honesty or courtesy may cause an individual or the team to be assessed penalty points or disqualified from the event, the tournament or future tournaments.

10. A team may not arbitrate an event after they have removed their device from the impound area. 11. All Science Olympiad Policies (requirements, clarifications, FAQs, etc.) provided on

the www.soinc.org website apply to all teams and must be treated as if they were included in the printed rules.

State and regional tournament directors must notify teams of any site-dependent rule or other rule modification at least 30 days prior to the tournament.

The NDSU College of Science and Mathematics and the Center for Science and Mathematics Education would like to offer a special thank you to these organizations for supporting K-12 science, math, and engineering events like the State Science Olympiad.

Science Olympiad Code of Conduct

Student participants are expected to compete in tournament events with honest effort to follow the rules and the spirit of the competition. Team members are expected to be the builders of all the devices used in the events. The goal of competition is to give one's best effort while displaying honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship.

Students, coaches, parents, and guests are expected to display courtesy and respect toward Olympiad officials, other teams, and guests of the Olympiad. Please remember all officials are volunteer specialists in their field and should be extended every courtesy.

Failure to show honesty and/or courtesy by a participant, coach, or guest of the team may result in the disqualification of the team from that event, the entire tournament or future tournaments.

Any problems or questions about rules and procedures must be submitted to Charles Sawicki by phone at 701-388-6956.

Student's Pledge

I pledge to put forth my best effort in the Science Olympiad tournament and to uphold the principles of honest competition. In my events, I will compete with integrity, respect, and sportsmanship towards my fellow competitors. I will display courtesy towards Event Supervisors and Tournament Personnel. My actions will exemplify the proud spirit of my school, team, and state.

Coach's Pledge

On behalf of the coaches and assistants at this tournament, I pledge to encourage honesty and respect for tournament personnel, our fellow coaches, and other team members. We want our efforts to bring honor to our community and school.

Parent's Pledge

On behalf of the parents and spectators I pledge to be an example for our children by:

respecting the rules of Science Olympiad, encouraging excellence in preparation and investigation, supporting independence in design and production of all competition devices, and respecting the decisions of event supervisors and judges. Our examples will promote the spirit of cooperation within and among all our participating teams.

Flag Etiquette

The Salute

To salute, all persons come to attention. Those in uniform give the appropriate formal salute. Citizens not in uniform salute by placing their right hand over the heart and men and with head cover should remove it and hold it to left shoulder, hand over the heart. Members of organizations in formation salute upon command of the person in charge.

The National Anthem

When the national anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the first note and hold the salute through the last note. The salute is directed to the flag, if displayed, otherwise to the music. On the night of September 3, 1814 during the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor, the American patriot, Francis Scott Key was held captive aboard the British flagship the HMS Tonnant. From his position on the ship, Key observed a large flag made with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes waving proudly and defiantly high above the fort. He was so inspired by the sight of that flag that he wrote a poem. The poem that he wrote is what we now recognize as our National Anthem. Please stand and remove your hats to give honor to our flag and for those who have bravely given their lives to defend it.

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
