Scale Olympics registration is open now through September 20th! Scale Olympics will be held on October 10, 2026 at Otterbein University.
Registration links can be found on the CEOMTA website: https://www.ceomta.org/
New for 2026:
Significant revisions were made to the Handbook for Scale Olympics 2026! Students will be scored based on the most recent handbook requirements, so please make sure you are preparing your student using the updated Handbook. Level 2 and 3 SCAT events were changed so that keys match across the different events. Arpeggios Level 3 are now thumb turns (instead of cross hands), and Levels 7 and 8 arpeggios are now triplet rhythms.
As an incentive for new teachers to try Scale Olympics, CEOMTA has received a private donation for Scale Olympics 2026 Scholarships! CEOMTA teachers participating in Scale Olympics for the first time can receive 1/2 off registration for up to 5 students (up to 25 scholarships are available in total).
Scale Olympics is switching to online judging forms this year! Teachers will fill out a single Student Event Sheet per student, rather than individual paper score sheets.
And lastly, all Theory and Ear Training pages in the Handbook were updated to reflect the material and question types included in the online tests. New practice tests are also available on the website!
