Event-Specific Information

As a reminder, MIT Invitationals will be following nationals rules with any rules clarified on this page.

Updates on other events may be added in the future.

Chemistry Lab and Forensics

For the 2025 Invitational, we are requiring teams to bring necessary lab equipment outlined in the 2025 Division C Rules Manual and appropriate PPE for all Lab events.

Materials Science

For the 2025 Invitational, all necessary equipment will be provided by Event Supervisors. Teams do not have to bring lab equipment for this event.

Helicopter

The location of Helicopter is in W34-201, Johnson Indoor Track (shown below). The ceiling height is approximately 21 ft beneath ceiling scaffolding.

Trial Events

The three Trial Events for our 2025 tournament are Fermi Countdown, Pokémon Pset, and Picture This. Rules will be updated shortly.

By popular demand, MIT Scioly is bringing back Fermi Questions as a trial - with a twist! In addition to the usual written test taking place during event blocks, top finishers will be invited before the awards ceremony to compete in a live bracket-style Countdown round, where teams race head-to-head to score points as quickly as possible. Stay tuned for detailed rules to be released in the coming days!
