mathleague.org is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the first annual worldwide championship for middle school students on April 6, 2019 in San Jose, California. The contest will be held at Evergreen Valley High School. A map to the venue is available here. Please see below for information about all aspects of the contest. If you need to contact us with questions that are not addressed on this page, you may email us at mathl...@mathleague.org. What's Different From The Local Contests?
- Students will be assigned either a specific seat or a specific table to sit at. The seating assignment will be written on the back of the ID labels the students receive at check-in.
- Proctors will be responsible for specific tables or rows of students and will be designated in advance.
- A lunch break will be built into the schedule from whenever the testing ends (target time is 1pm) until 3pm. This will allow for time to verify the results, set up the awards ceremony, and stuff all the packets.
- Each student will receive their own results packet instead of giving one envelope per school. The results packets will include a copy of the solutions for each student. Students may exchange their last label for their packet at the conculsion of the awards ceremony.
- We plan to display a picture slideshow on the projector prior to the start of the countdown and awards ceremony. If you have pictures from contests this year that you would be willing to share, please email them to us at pict...@mathleague.org.
- T-shirts and books will be available for purchase at the contest. See below for more details.
Participation
Only eligible students may register for this contest. A student is eligible to register if (1) she or he earned a spot at one of the qualifying rounds according to the rules found here; (2) she or he has been accepted off the waiting list to replace a student who could not make it; or (3) she or he was member of a four-person team that won their state's MATHCOUNTS state championship in 2018 or 2019. If you register students who are not eligible, your registration will be deleted and no refunds will be given.To join the waiting list, please send an email to custom...@mathleague.org indicating which students from your school would like to attend the contest if space is available. For each student we need first name, last name, grade, school, and state or country. We will notify you if space becomes available and if we can accept your students off the waiting list. Do NOT email us to inquire about your waiting list status, because waiting list priority will be based on the LAST email we received from you (in other words, every time you email to ask about the waiting list, you will be moved to the bottom of the waiting list).
To ensure a seat at the contest, eligible students must register and pay any required fee by March 27. After March 27, if space is available, additional students may be invited from the waiting list to replace qualified students who have not yet registered and paid in full. The contest fee will be $20 per student, and students must pre-register for the contest by clicking the link below. Students who were members of a four-person team that won their state's MATHCOUNTS state championship in 2018 or 2019 are exempt from the registration fee. After you register, please email custom...@mathleague.org with documentation that your team was the state MATHCOUNTS champion and we will flag your registration as paid.
Students may only participate in the (INTER)2 SECT championship if their school is a paid member of mathleague.org for the current school year. Students who register for the contest under a school that is not a paid member of mathleague.org are subject to deletion of their registration without a refund at any time. You can check on your school's membership status here and, if necessary, fill out a membership form here. Please note that students who were members of a four-person team that won their state's MATHCOUNTS state championship in 2018 or 2019 are exempt from the membership fee, as are Title I schools.
To see a list of students from each qualifying site who have qualified for the championship, go to our results page, select your site from the drop-down menu, and click the "qualifiers to next level" link. Contact us at the email address at the top of this page if your school had two or more students at the meet in the same grade with the same initials and you need help determining which student(s) qualified for the championship. Also be sure to let us know if you find any mistakes in the list so we can make sure everyone who qualified for the championship shows up on the list of qualifiers.
Every school that registers for the contest must be accompanied by one or more adult chaperones who are willing to help proctor or grade tests (one chaperone should be designated on the registration form) and who will remain at the contest venue whenever their students are present. Click below to register for this contest. Note: Registration and payment deadline for qualifiers is March 27. After March 27, additional participants will be accepted only if space is available.”
