Take a left (north) onto Highway 79, crossing over a set of railroad tracks and you will see Boyceville High School on your left.
From the east/south on I-94: Exit I-94 at exit 41 and head south on Highway 25 until reaching Highway 12, about 1 mile south of the interstate. Take a right (west) on Highway 12 and head about 4 miles until reaching Highway 79, and take a right (north).

Parking
Parking for cars and school vans is available on-site at Boyceville High School in a parking lot on the east side. Buses are asked to be parked at Tiffany Creek Elementary School, which is about 5 blocks north of Boyceville High School on Highway 79, on the right. Teams are asked to be dropped off at the front door and then the bus can proceed to the parking lot at Tiffany Creek Elementary School.
Awards
The high school tournament will be broken down into A and AA divisions, based on high school enrollment, previous success at the Boyceville Invitational, and respective state tournaments. Medals will be awarded to the top four finishers in both divisions in all 28 events in the high school tournament. In addition, team trophies will be awarded to the top four teams in both division of the high school tournament. National Scoring will be used to calculate team scores (1 point for 1st, 2 points for 2nd, etc…low score wins), and every teams’ five worst event scores will be dropped when calculating team scores, compensating for the five Wisconsin Science Olympiad events. Only one trophy can be earned by a school. A spirit award will be awarded to the high school team who displays the most positive team spirit, as voted on by the event supervisors.
In the middle school tournament, medals will be awarded to the top three finishers in all 23 events and team trophies will be awarded to the top three teams. National scoring will also be used to calculate team scores, but no scores will be dropped for a team. Only one trophy can be earned by a school. A spirit will also be awarded to the middle school team who displays the most positive team spirit, as voted on by the event supervisors.
All efforts will be made to begin the awards ceremony as fast as possible after the final events have been completed. This awards ceremony will move quickly to accomodate the large number of teams and awards being handed out, with a goal to get teams on the road as fast as possible. Pictures of medal winners will be taken away from the ceremony to allow for a quicker transition between events. The new version of Avogadro has a presentation system integrated to allow for immediate presentation of results. It is expected that the awards ceremony will begin earlier than in 2009 and will also move much faster. We will work hard to quickly and accurately begin and complete the awards ceremony, while still creating a memorable experience for all students involved.
Avogadro
Again this year, Avogadro will be used to score this competition. Coaches are asked to log onto the following website and create and activate (via e-mail) an account, after which I will assign them as a team coach and they can input their school’s data prior to the tournament:
Next, coaches are asked to e-mail Andy Hamm with their username so that he can input you as the “School Coach.” As soon as you are labeled as a “School Coach” you may log on to Avogadro to input your team data, including selecting events and assigning students with events. First, log onto Avogadro:
Next, click on the Wisconsin Boyceville Invitational 2010 link under “Newly Hosted” at the top of the page (click on the Division that you are associated with). Be sure to click on the link associated with your division (B or C) Next, you will click on the Competition Data heading on the left, bringing up 3 more links. Now you will click on Edit School Data. Here it will probably ask you to log in, or you can do it on the lower left. After you enter your school data, you can click on the Edit Team Data link on the left to add team members and select their individual events. Please let Andy Hamm know if you have any questions.
Protein Modeling
More information on this event will follow as the event draws near.
Concessions
A concession stand will be open from 7:30 AM until the completion of the Awards Ceremony in the high school commons. A variety of foods, ranging from breakfast to lunch foods, and including muffins, pizza, hot dogs, nachos, fruit, various beverages, and numerous other options will be for sale, with all proceeds benefiting the Boyceville Science Olympiad team.
Homerooms
Homerooms will not be provided to all teams due to space constraints. However, high school teams not provided a homeroom will be provided with one table per team in the high school commons, and middle school teams not provided a homeroom will be provided with one table per team in the middle school lobby. Tables will be labeled with team names. Some of the larger schools will be provided with homerooms to ease congestion in the commons area. Space will also be available in the bleachers in the high school and middle school gymnasiums for teams meet.
Spectators
Students, coaches, and other interested people are welcome to watch several events, including many of the build events, and the high school and middle school gymnasiums will have bleacher space available for people to watch some of these events. The high school gym will have space available for teams who do not have enough space in the high school commons to use as well.
Team Check-In and Coaches Meeting
There will be a table in the high school commons for coaches to check-in upon their arrival on the morning of competition. In addition, a meeting for all coaches and event supervisors will take place at 7:45 AM in the high school gymnasium. Final questions and clarifications will be answered at this meeting. Impound opens at 8:00 AM and closes at 8:30 AM. Note that impound for some events is open longer and this is noted on the official schedule.
Auditing Events
Due to the large number of teams who have participated in the Boyceville Invitational in the past, we have decided to now allow teams to audit events due to space concerns and time concerns with our event supervisors. Auditors will only be allowed under special circumstances. Please contact Andy Hamm if you have any questions about this policy.

The following events will be offered all day, with teams signing up for a time slot via e-mail with Andy Hamm prior to the tournament. Time slots will be available to teams on a first-come, first-serve basis.
