Scoring Policy


This is the ISO board-approved policy on posting and releasing scores:
  1. Only rankings (and NOT raw scores) will be posted on a website for the general public to see.
  2. At tournaments a spreadsheet with rankings should be generated and handed out to only the attending teams so that they can use that data to coach their teams. That spreadsheet of rankings CANNOT be posted on any web page for the general public to see.
  3. The function in AVOGADRO to allow the general public to see the rankings of a tournament CANNOT be used.
  4. If a spreadsheet of rankings is not generated and handed out at the tournament, then it is acceptable to generate one later and email it out to ONLY the attending teams.

Using the Avogadro Scoring System, ISO now has the capability to share with you, and only you, your team's raw scores. You will be able to see your team's raw score and a graph that displays your team score relative to the other scores. In order to comply with Illinois Law concerning student privacy and the advice of both National and State Science Olympiad legal experts, the high score on the graph has been removed. This feature of Avogadro, showing your team's medal place, raw score, and raw score graph for each event, will be turned on after the completion of the tournament's award ceremony.

Any release of additional teams' scores, etc. could result in ISO being subjected to charges of violation of student privacy. Please do not ask your Tournament Director to open themselves to such vulnerability by requesting additional scoring analyses.
