My friends and I are starting an academic decathlon club... no idea?

<p>Hey guys, so as you can tell from the title my friends and I are going to start an academic decathlon club at our small private school with me as President. We have around 6 people interested and will probably get more people tomorrow when they will sign a petition. We like the idea of an academic decathlon club because we're all big nerds, hehe. I was going to create the science club/ sci olympiads, but my chemistry teacher already did that previously last month. I know you have to get a monitor and set a schedule, but we have NO idea what academic decathlon entails, but it seems super fun.</p>

<p>Questions:
- When is the regional competition? Do we have enough time to prepare for it?
- Is it possible to get study materials online?
- When does your team meet?
- How do you teach the team? Do you lecture or just give study guides?
- Can there only be 9 members (A, B, and C grades)</p>

<p>Of course, we aren't expecting to win much for our first competition, just to gain some experience. I'm only a freshman by the way.</p>
