Eso Event Clarifications 15-16 1
Eso Event Clarifications 15-16 1
We will be following the rules outlined in the 6th edition of Elementary Science Olympiad
Rules Manual. New ESO rule manuals may be purchased from www.soinc.org.
II.
The Elementary Science Olympiad Coaches manual is a little unclear about team size.
Below is the final ruling on team size for the GA ESO in 2014.
Teams may be composed of up to 20 3rd-6th grade students. Each team may have
up to eight 5th grade students or up to four 6th grade students, with no more than 8
total 5th and 6th grade students. Teams should be composed of students chosen
from grade levels within the same building. (e.g. Only elementary schools going up
to 6th grade may have 6th graders on their team.)
III.
Some of the ESO Events can be interpreted a bit broadly. In attempt to provide a little
more clarity, the event at the State ESO will be run using the following
guidelines/limitations.
