Eligibility

To create an Academic Decathlon^® team, it's not enough just to gather nine interested students. You'll also need to make sure that those students represent three different GPA divisions. More specifically, each team must include two to three Honor students, two to three Scholastic students, and two to three Varsity students.

Please note: only the highest-scoring two students in each division count toward your total team score, which means you can compete successfully with as few as six students on your team.
