Team Structure
Like many other teams, Community does not have a "class" for Science Olympiad. They meet twice a week, often for 1 or 2 hours.

Tryouts are written commonly by the freshmen on the team or experienced 8th graders, and are commonly topic based, rather than event based. They select 36 members for the team (NJ allows 18), and often takes both an A and B team to invitationals, and previously to regionals. However, as of the 2019 season, NJ discontinued the A/B team rule, and now only allows one 18 member team to participate at regionals due to limited space.
