Check your team’s Event Materials (linked above). Materials, notes, and/or practice tests should be posted there. If you can’t find something, reach out directly to your Event Coach to see what you missed or if there are assignments to complete before the next practice.

We understand interests can change! However, once teams are set and competitions begin, it’s difficult to make changes. 

If there’s a serious issue (like a scheduling conflict), talk with your Advisors or Captains as soon as possible.

Check the Division B Rules Manual for each of your events. It will list everything you need to bring, such as safety goggles, calculators, binders, lab coats, or other materials. 

Otherwise, your Event Coach can help you double-check that you have the right items before competition day.

Different events allow different types of calculators — and you may need more than one! The Division B Rules Manual will specify which “class” (Type A, B, or C) is allowed for each event. When in doubt, check with your Coach or Team Captain.

There are different safety goggle classifications based on the level of protection needed. Events involving chemicals or potential splash hazards require higher-level goggles. All build events require goggles. Always check the Division B Rules Manual for your specific event  and Eye Protection Guide section at the end. 

And remember, you might need different goggles for different events!

Start with two things:

• Read the Rules Manual for your event. It outlines exactly what you’ll need to know or bring.

• Check your event’s folder to review what your teammates have already worked on.

Focus on understanding the main concepts and format of the event — even being calm, organized, and positive helps your team succeed!

It’s always smart to come prepared. Most competitions offer food for sale, but you’ll be at the venue all day — so bring a packed lunch, snacks, a refillable water bottle, and a little cash if you plan to buy food.

Team Captains are nominated and voted on each year. Traditionally, this role is reserved for 9th graders because it requires leadership, responsibility, and the ability to help manage logistics throughout the season. Captains lead by example, support their teammates, and help keep our team running smoothly!

If you know that you are unavailable during a competition date, please notify Coach Sweigart and Coach Schwickerath as soon as possible. This will allow them to make arrangements and ensure we have a fully equipped team for competition.
