SCI-OLY

Science Olympiad Event Assignment Planner

Spread a limited roster across a long event list, line up backups, and catch overloads and same-block conflicts early.

What you'll need

Have these numbers handy.

text Season, team, or event name
number Students or participants
textarea Budget, materials, assignment, or packet notes - Use initials or role labels when names are not needed. Leave private student details out.
textarea Official links or rules to check - Paste links or reminders. Do not copy protected rule text into the tool.

Before you share

  • Leave out private student, family, payment, tax, credential, medical, and emergency-contact details. Initials or labels work fine.
  • Double-check rules, forms, fees, schedules, safety, and eligibility on the official program, school, and event pages.
  • Your work saves in this browser when supported — download a backup for anything you'd hate to lose.

Free planner — no account needed

Cover every event without overloading the same three students

Use short student codes instead of names, add your events, and the planner flags conflicts, overloads, and gaps. Print the grid for the coach binder or export it.

Example packet

Spring invitational assignment draft

A coach assigns anonymous student codes across study, build, lab, and partner events, then checks overloads, backup coverage, and same-block conflicts before the team meeting.

  • Covered events: 8 of 8
  • Backup coverage: 8 of 8
  • Overloaded codes: 1
  • Same-block conflicts: 1
  • Student-code load table for coach review

Assumptions

What this tool assumes.

  • Use anonymous student codes only; keep names, emails, medical details, emergency contacts, addresses, IDs, and private family information outside SciPacket.
  • Official event lists, rules, schedules, eligibility, forms, and safety requirements must be checked at the official source.
  • Schedule blocks are coach-entered planning labels and do not verify tournament timing.
  • The planner flags load and conflicts from entered rows; you still need to review skills, absences, partners, and event-specific requirements locally.

The math

How the numbers are figured.

  • Covered events = event rows with a primary student code.
  • Backup coverage = event rows with a backup student code.
  • Student-code load counts primary and backup assignments for each entered code.
  • Overloaded codes are primary assignment counts above the coach-entered target.
  • Same-block conflicts flag one primary student code assigned to more than one event in the same schedule block.
  • Unknown primary or backup codes create review warnings when they are not in the student-code list.
