There are 4 steps to registering a team for competition in this year’s Odyssey of the Mind competition. Listed below is the order to follow. Links for each of these steps can be located at bottom of this page.
STEP 1: Obtain an Odyssey of the Mind membership registration for your school/organization & pay for membership.
Each school/organization must first obtain a Membership. Each school only needs to purchase one (1) membership unless you are planning on having 2 teams compete in the same problem in the same division (i.e. two Division 2 teams competing in the vehicle problem). This year’s problems will be available after registration).
