Regionals/California/2026

This page attempts to document all known scores on the official USAD California Round 2 tests in the 2025-26 season. The rankings are only out of known scores, so these rankings are not and never will be complete.

This website operates entirely on volunteering and the honor system: if you look at others' scores, we ask you to be fair to them and share (click here) whatever new data you can.

Beginning in the 2025-26 season, California Academic Decathlon ruled that teams within their state may use higher GPA cutoffs calculated in a different manner than the national standards, as well as allow freshmen to compete as "wildcards" in any GPA category regardless of their actual GPA. This page tracks the scores of individuals under the California rules: for example, freshmen competing in the Varsity category are marked as Varsity here, regardless of their national standing.

Notes

1. Indicates a confirmed freshman wildcard competitor. Beginning in 2026, California allowed freshmen competitors to be freely entered in the Honors, Scholastic or Varsity GPA categories (see top of page). Scholastic and Varsity competitors not marked with this note also may be wildcards.
2. Some regions allow alternates to compete, but they do not count as part of the overall team score.
