How to make a new Scilympiad account

Scilympiad is the software we use for scoring at the Science Olympiad state tournament

  1. Visit Scilympiad's Montana site at https://scilympiad.com/mt
  2. Click LOG IN in the upper right.
  3. Click NEW MEMBER, then enter an email and password.
  4. If you already have an account for that email, Scilympiad will let you know. You can reset your password if you forgot it.
  5. Once you have created your new account, you will enter your name and phone, then select your role as either Head Coach or Co-Head Coach.
  6. Next, click REGISTER YOUR SCHOOL and then look for your school on the screen that pops up. You can also use the search feature. 
  7. Make any necessary updates. Please ensure that your team name does NOT use abbreviations. So please do not abbreviate Bozeman High School to BHS. 
  8. After that, WE need to attach your school to you, so please be patient as we do that; once we have attached your school and your team(s) to your account, you can enter your students’ names and the events they will do.

  1. In the Head Coach Dashboard, under “Registration” you can also register teams or add additional coaches if necessary. Please ensure that your team name does NOT use abbreviations. So please do not abbreviate Bozeman High School to BHS. 
  2. Under “Compliance,” please click on Students/Team/Event Assignment, which will enable you to add students to your teams and then assign students to events. This step is critical in helping us plan logistics, however we know that the names of students in events may change before the event date and this is fine. Adding students to events that you intend to participate in will allow us to see how many students to expect in each event.
