 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This section contains instructions, rules and procedures for administering the MATHCOUNTS School
Competition. It is important that the coach look upon coaching sessions during the academic year as
opportunities to develop better mathematics skills in all participants. Therefore, the coach is encouraged
to postpone the selection of those students who will be competing at the Chapter Competition until
just prior to the event in February. Selection of the students need not be based on the results of a
school competition. For this reason, schools may deviate from these rules in administering the School
Competition. However, experience with the ofcial rules may aid the students who compete at the
chapter, state and national levels.
Individual scores are kept for each participating student, and a team score is calculated for each team.
Before beginning the competition, divide participants into teams of four students and designate a
captain for each team.
At the end of each round of the competition, collect all competition booklets, problems and scratch
paper.
1. Use of notes and other aids (including graph paper, rulers, compasses, protractors, reference tables,
and dictionaries) is not permitted.
2. The use of connected wearable technology and “smart” devices including, but not limited
to cellular phones, smartphones, laptops, tablets, e-readers, calculator wrist watches and
smartwatches is prohibited. Students are not permitted to access such devices during any round of
the competition.
3. The Target and Team Rounds assume the use of a calculator. Calculator use is permitted in
these rounds only. Any calculator that does not contain a QWERTY (i.e., typewriter-like) keypad
is permitted. Calculators that have the ability to enter letters of the alphabet but do not have a
keypad in a standard typewriter arrangement are acceptable. Students may not use calculators to
exchange information with another person or device during the competition.
4. Talking and signals are permitted only during the Team Round.
5. Before the competition, coaches should review with students the rules for acceptable forms of
answers, found in the SCORING section of this booklet.

SPRINT ROUND INSTRUCTIONS

1. Distribute scratch paper.
2. Distribute Sprint Round booklet.
3. Instruct each student to print his/her name on the front of the booklet, in the allotted space.
4. Instruct each student to write the digits 0 through 9 on the booklet, in the spaces provided. This
may be used during scoring to clarify written answers that are not legible.
5. Read aloud instructions printed on the front of the booklet while students read instructions silently.
6. Instruct students to begin. Start timing.
7. After 37 minutes, give a three-minute warning.
8. After 40 minutes, say, “Stop, pencils down,” and instruct students to close competition booklets.
 TARGET ROUND INSTRUCTIONS
1. Distribute scratch paper.
2. Distribute the rst (next) pair o Target Round problems, and instruct each student to print his/her
name in the allotted space.
3. Read aloud the instructions printed on the cover o the rst pair o problems.
4. Instruct students to begin. Start timing.
5. Give a 30-second warning at 5 minutes 30 seconds.
6. After 6 minutes, say, “Stop, pencils down.”
7. Collect all papers.
8. For each of the next three pairs of problems, repeat step 2, then steps 4 through 7.

TEAM ROUND INSTRUCTIONS

1. Arrange all teams (o our students) in a room with at least ve eet o unoccupied space between
teams.
2. Distribute scratch paper.
3. Distribute Team Round booklet to each person, and instruct team captain to print team name and
team members’ names on his/her booklet. This becomes the team’s ofcial answer booklet.
4. Read aloud the instructions printed on the cover of the booklet while students read the instructions
silently.
5. Instruct students to begin. Start timing.
6. After 17 minutes, give a three-minute warning.
7. After 20 minutes, say, “Stop, pencils down,” and instruct students to close competition booklets.

COUNTDOWN ROUND INSTRUCTIONS

The Countdown Round is a mandatory component at the National Competition, and it is used
to determine the nal rank o the top competitors. At the chapter and state levels, the use o the
Countdown Round, ofcially or unofcially, is at the discretion o the state coordinator. When
used ofcially, the Countdown Round will adhere to the rules presented below. The instructions
may be modied as necessary at the school level. This round is available only in PowerPoint®
ormat or the School Competition. The PowerPoint fle can be downloaded by logging in at
www.mathcounts.org/competitioncoaches.
1. Based on scores in the Sprint and Target Rounds, rank all competitors and select the top 25%, up to
ten students, to compete in the Countdown Round.
2. Seat the two lowest-ranked students so they are in clear view of the moderator. Each competitor
should be given scratch paper and sharpened pencils before the round begins. Invite the
competitors to introduce themselves and, if applicable, test their buzzers.
3. Read the following statement to all students who will be competing in the round:

In this round, I will read each problem aloud as it is presented to you. You may use the scratch
paper and pencil in front of you to calculate your answer to the problem. You are not allowed
to use calculators during this round.
 You will have a maximum of 45 seconds to solve the problem after it is presented. You will be
given a ten-second warning before time expires. As soon as you have solved the problem, press
your buzzer. [Schools may have alternate methods o determining order o nish and should adjust
directions to students accordingly.] I will call on the frst person who signals. Do not announce your
answer until I call on you. Each time you wish to answer, you must signal, though you may not
answer more than once for any question. If you do not signal before you answer, your answer
will be disqualifed. I you answer ater signaling but beore I call on you, your answer will be
accepted, but I ask that you please wait until you hear your name so that there is no confusion.

Once I call on you, you will have three seconds to begin your answer. Your opponent may continue
working while you are responding.

If you answer correctly, you will score one point in the round. If you answer incorrectly, your
opponent will have the remainder of the allotted 45 seconds to press his/her buzzer for an
opportunity to answer the problem and score a point in the round.

Whoever answers the most of the three problems correctly (not necessarily two out of the three)
will progress to the next round to compete for the next place. If you are tied after three questions,
I will declare a sudden victory situation. I will describe the rules for this process should this
situation arise.

It is very important that these rules be followed exactly. If you answer without signaling your
buzzer, your answer will be disqualifed. Are there any questions?

[Note that the above procedure does not necessarily require a student to answer two out of the three
problems correctly. For instance, a student answering only one problem of three will progress to
the next round if his/her opponent has not correctly answered any questions in the round.]
4. Conduct the round as described above. Ater the winner o each round is identied, dismiss his/her
opponent, and ask the next written competition place-holder to be seated to participate in the next
round. Invite the new competitor to introduce himself or herself and, if applicable, test his/her
buzzer.
5. If a sudden victory situation occurs, read the following statement to the students:

Since you are tied at the end of three problems, I must declare a sudden victory situation. I will
now continue to read problems to both of you. Rules for answering problems remain the same
as beore. The frst one o you to answer a problem correctly will advance to the next round.
6. Ater the winner o this round is identied, congratulate the winner, have the two competitors
shake hands and call for applause for the student who has lost and is leaving the stage. Continue in
this manner ater the winner o each round is identied.
7. Just beore the 4th-ranked student competes in his/her rst round, read the following statement to
the students:

For the fnal our rounds, our rules will change slightly. In order to win a round, our Mathletes
will have to answer three problems correctly. The frst Mathlete in each round to answer three
problems correctly will progress to the next round.

8. Repeat procedure until the Champion of the Countdown Round is identied.

*Rules for the Countdown Round change for the National Competition.
 SCORING
1. The following rules explain acceptable forms for answers.
a. Units of measurement are not required in answers, but they must be correct if given. When a problem
asks or an answer expressed in a specic unit o measure or when a unit o measure is provided in the
answer blank, equivalent answers expressed in other units are not acceptable. For example, if a problem
asks for the number of ounces and 36 oz is the correct answer, 2 lbs 4 oz will not be accepted. If a problem
asks for the number of cents and 25 cents is the correct answer, $0.25 will not be accepted.
b. All answers must be expressed in simplest form. A “common fraction” is to be considered a fraction
a
in the form ± b , where a and b are natural numbers and GCF(a, b) = 1. In some cases the term “common
fraction” is to be considered a fraction in the form BA , where A and B are algebraic expressions and A and
B do not share a common actor. A simplied “mixed number” (“mixed numeral,” “mixed raction”) is to
a
be considered a fraction in the form ± N b , where N, a and b are natural numbers, a < b and GCF(a, b) = 1.
c. Ratios should be expressed as simplifed common ractions unless otherwise specied.
d. Radicals must be simplifed. A simplied radical must satisy: 1) no radicands have a actor which
possesses the root indicated by the index; 2) no radicands contain fractions; and 3) no radicals appear in
the denominator of a fraction. Numbers with fractional exponents are not in radical form.
e. Answers to problems asking or a response in the orm o a dollar amount or an unspecifed monetary
unit (e.g., “How many dollars...,” “How much will it cost...,” “What is the amount of interest...”)
should be expressed in the form ($) a.bc or a.bc (dollars), where a is an integer and b and c are digits.
The only exceptions to this rule are when a is zero, in which case it may be omitted, or when b and c are
both zero, in which case they both may be omitted. Answers in the form ($)a.bc or a.bc (dollars) should
be rounded to the nearest cent unless otherwise specied.
2
f. Do not make approximations for numbers (e.g., π, 3
, 5 3 ) in the data given or in solutions unless the
problem says to do so.
g. Do not perform any intermediate rounding (other than the “rounding” a calculator performs) when
calculating solutions. All rounding should be done at the end of the calculation process.
h. Scientifc notation should be expressed in the form a × 10n where a is a decimal, 1 < |a| < 10, and n is
an integer.
i. An answer expressed to a greater or lesser degree of accuracy than called for in the problem will not
be accepted. Whole number answers should be expressed in their whole number form. Thus, 25.0
will not be accepted for 25, and 25 will not be accepted for 25.0.
j. The plural form of the units will always be provided in the answer blank, even if the answer appears
to require the singular form of the units.
2. Specic instructions stated in a given problem should take precedence over any general rule or procedure.
3. Scores are kept for individuals and teams. The individual score is the number of Sprint Round
questions answered correctly plus two times the number of Target Round questions answered correctly.
The maximum possible individual score is 46. The team score is calculated by dividing the sum of
the team members’ individual scores by four, and then adding two times the number of Team Round
questions answered correctly. The maximum possible team score is 66.

Because the School Competition is not the only mechanism available to determine which students should
advance to the Chapter Competition, ties on the School Competition needn’t be broken. At the Chapter,
State and National Competitions, however, ties among individuals or teams will be broken by comparing
the scores o specic rounds.
