The students will work in groups of three or four for this written, free-response contest.  Teams will have 30-45 minutes to solve 10 problems.  The problems will be graded with some partial credit.<\/p>\n

The top eight teams from different schools (not necessarily the top 8 teams) will advance to the face-off round later in the morning.<\/p>\n

After the face-off round, teachers will receive copies of the team competition problems, correct solutions and the packets containing all of the graded problems for their students.<\/p>\n

*Calculators will not be permitted for this contest.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The face-off round is a College-Bowl-style contest in which the four members of each team have the opportunity to buzz in and answer questions.  These questions are mostly computational and can usually be answered quickly.<\/p>\n

Scratch paper and pencils will be provided for the teams.<\/p>\n
