2025 Dennis Papesh Memorial, Centerville Invitational
January 25, 2025
Hadley E. Watts Middle School
7056 McEwen Rd
Washington Township, OH 45459
We will host B-Division, in-person format only. Each registered team is required to supervise, or assist with supervising, one event. The team registration form will allow coaches to select up to five of their most preferred event choices. Please submit a separate registration for each team you are bringing and name them in a manner that easily allows the tournament staff to differentiate them (e.g., Centerville-A, Centerville-B, Centerville-Gold, Centerville-Black, etc.).
We are limiting the tournament to B-Division teams. Medals will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers for each event; ribbons will be awarded for finishes in 4th through 8th positions. Team trophies will be awarded for the top eight places overall. Schools with multiple teams may only earn a single overall trophy.
Every participating team must be registered with Ohio Science Olympiad, or their home state's organization, if outside of Ohio, to participate in the Centerville Invitational. Tournament registration will begin on September 15, 2025; a registration link will be provided on this page. The team registration fee is $100 per team.

Room Map
A facility interior map indicating event locations, homerooms, and building key areas was distributed by email to the registrants. We ask that these facility maps NOT be posted online. Hard-copies will also be included in your team packet at check-in.
Campus exterior, parking, overhead, aerial, and neighborhood maps are provided. Please pay close attention to the flow of traffic and communicate with your bus drivers the drop-off and parking arrangements. Traffic flow around Watts Middle School is one-directional. Drop-off is on the trailing side (South) of the building; bus parking is on the leading side (NorthEast) corner of the building. We will have attendants to assist with drop-off and bus parking.
The Centerville Invitational will utilize ESUS for event self-scheduling. Only the email used to register the team(s) will be granted access to ESUS. If you have any issues accessing ESUS, contact science.thms@mail.com for resolution.
