General Information

Schools participate at their home sites, and each school chooses the day the team will participate in the contest.
The meet consists of five sets of problems. For each of the first four problem sets, each individual student will attempt to solve problems worth 1, 3, and 5 points, respectively. For the team problem set, all team members will work cooperatively to solve 6 problems, each worth 10 points. Check out past Math Contests for more details on these events.
The time requirements are 15 minutes for each of the four individual events and 25 minutes for the team event.
The school team advisor corrects the individual events and all of the items on the team event, and tests and results are returned to WMC.
Each school may enter one team. A team consists of eight students (all from the same school) consisting of no more than four seniors for high school teams and four 8th grade students for middle school teams.
School enrollment is used to determine the appropriate class for each school as shown below. A school may compete in a higher classification upon request.
