The study was designed to poll, upon completion of the Russian School Physical Education Olympiad (RSPEO), opinions of the relevant school physical education teachers (n-382) on the quality of the event design and management. A special questionnaire survey form offered 9 questions designed to: rate the difficulty levels of the theoretical and practical contest; rate the quality of the refereeing service; and the quality of services to the competitors. The obtained questionnaire survey data revealed the following: the theoretical and practical tasks in the contest were reasonably difficult for the competitors; the refereeing service quality was above the average; independent experts need to be engaged in the panel to further improve the refereeing service quality; school physical education teachers are in need of additional special workshops to get ready for the municipal qualifying competitions for the RSPEO; and the existing feedback system needs to be improved.

Keywords: School Physical Education Olympiad, school physical education teachers, theoretical contest, practical contest, informational resource of RSPEO, RSPEO management requirements, municipal qualifying competitions for RSPEO.
