Linguistics Olympiad

<p>Any participants who could share the experience around here?
Where and how was it conducted? Who trained you, and how did you score? </p>

<p>This is my first year living in US (moved from Russia, yeah), and I am a sophomore. I have a huge background knowledge about the subject, studying on my own and participating and winning state level competitions back there.
Right now I am considering starting a linguistics club (?) in my school, so we could practice and compete together.
So, how can I do that? Any advice would be helpful, because a lot of things are new for me.
