Team Approval Process
The 2024 West Virginia Regional Middle School Science Bowl (WVSB) will be an In-Person event. The competition will be at West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV.
A school can pre-register up to three teams, Team 1 (first pre-registered team), Team 2 (second pre-registered team), and Team 3 (third pre-registered team). Eligible team 1s will be pre-approved on a first-come, first-served basis determined by the date/time stamp when their pre-registrations were submitted and, with first pre-registered teams taking precedence over second pre-registered teams, and second pre-registered teams taking precedence over third pre-registered teams, with the goal of as many different schools participating as is possible.
Eligible Team 1s will be pre-approved to participate as soon as team coaches complete and submit their pre-registrations. Coaches will then have until 11:59 PM on Friday, December 1, 2023, to collect and enter student data, upload required consent forms, and add co-coaches without fear of losing their Team 1 spot at the Regional competition. A coach cannot submit a full team registration until all required student information and forms have been approved and/or uploaded by the coach. Failure to submit by December 1, 2023, may result in the team losing their spot.
Beginning Tuesday, December 5, 2023, Team 1s will be approved only if team coaches have fully entered and/or uploaded all required student, coach, and co-coach information and forms.
Beginning Tuesday, December 19, 2023, and space permitting, pre-registered Team 2s will be approved to participate only if team coaches have fully entered and/or uploaded all required student, coach, and co-coach information and forms. If all Team 2s cannot be approved, Regional Coordinators will use a DOE-approved random selection process for approval.
Beginning 3 weeks prior to the regional event and space permitting, third registered teams will be approved to participate only if team coaches have fully entered and/or uploaded all required student, coach, and co-coach information and forms. If all Team 3s cannot be approved, Regional Coordinators will use the DOE-approved random selection process for approval.
WVSB Coordinators may conduct the 2024 WVSB Regional Middle School competition with an incomplete field.
