Competitions & Tournaments
Register for official Supernova Guide astrophysics competitions, test your speed on timed mock exams, and qualify through multi-phase brackets.
Foundational & Speed Round
Open to all registered candidates. High-tempo conceptual and quantitative MCQs across spherical astronomy, Keplerian orbits, and radiation laws.
Analytical & Multi-Step Round
Intermediate-to-advanced theoretical traps, binary mass functions, stellar structure scaling relations, and negative-marking precision penalties.
Championship Sprint
Olympiad-level synthesis problems, light-curve/spectral graph reading MCQs, and relativistic astrophysics under live tie-breaker timing.
- Registration Window: Entries open on 19 October 2026 (00:00 UTC) and close strictly on 1 November 2026 (23:59 UTC).
- Scoring System: Correct answers award $+4\text{ pts}$; blank responses award $0\text{ pts}$; incorrect choices incur a $-1\text{ pt}$ guessing penalty in Phases 2 and 3.
- Permitted Materials: Standard scientific calculator (e.g., Canon F-715SG / Casio fx-991) and the official Supernova IAU Constants Sheet.
- Anti-Cheat Telemetry: Full-screen browser enforcement and randomized question/parameter seeds per candidate.
Familiarize yourself with the MCQ testing interface before Phase 1 begins. Launch our 3-question diagnostic mini-mock covering Celestial Mechanics, Extinction, and Black Hole Accretion.
