NEW!
There has been a change in the format of the State Tournament:

The State Math Tournament now consists of three rounds: a written test, individual ciphering, and, for the first time, a team round. There is no more pair ciphering. It has been replaced with a team round. Details follow.

The individual written test contains 45 multiple-choice questions and 5 free-response questions with a 90-minute time limit. A student can expect questions from the following area of mathematics, with an indication of the number of problems in each area: Algebra (10-18), Geometry (8-12), Analytic Geometry (5-10), Trigonometry (4-8), Precalculus (4-8), Calculus (1-3), Discrete Math (10-15). The scoring for the written test is 5C+B, where C is the number correct and B is the number left blank. Incorrect answers earn zero points.

The individual ciphering consists of 10 problems, given one-at-a-time, each with a two-minute time limit. Students earn 11 points for answering correctly within the first minutes, and 5 points for the second minute.

The new team round consists of 12 problems that the team of four students will solve together. Each correct answer is worth 25 points, and all answers must be submitted within 8 minutes. There are no extra points for submitting answers early.

The winning individuals are determined by the sum of the participant's written test score and ciphering score. The winning teams are determined by the sum of the four individual scores plus the team round. Trophies are awarded to the top 15 individuals and the top 5 teams. The top team in each GHSA classification and in GISA that is not already in the top 5 also earns a trophy. Also awarded is the Steve Sigur Award for most improved individual performance over the previous year.
