FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
[Registration] Which registion type should we pick: Team vs. Solo?
The only difference between Team Registration and Solo Registration is that we help Solo Registrants form teams. Do not register for both.
Please first try contacting your student’s friends, teachers, school admins, and PTA/PTO to see if there are other students who may be interested in joining your student(s) to form a team.
Solo Registration is available for students who are unable to form a team. Solo Registrants will be grouped into teams by MAMTS organizers on a best-efforts basis.
[Registration] Can we register without having identified all team members? Can a team have fewer than 4 team members?
Yes. You can pay the registration fee first and update the registration form later by adding or substituting team members.
Yes. However, having a full team of 4 members is strongly recommended because teams with less than 4 team members will generally be at a considerable disadvantage. You can optionally request for Solo Registrant(s) to join your team.
[Registration] Do all team members have to be from the same school? Is there a limit on the number of teams allowed per school or Coach?
No. Although most teams will be school teams, a team can consist of students from different schools. Schools and Coaches can register as many as teams as they wish.
[Registration] Can a team have students of mixed grades?
Yes. As long as all team members are Grades 3-5 for Div E and Grades 6-8 for Div M.
[Preparation] Does each grade take a different test?
All Division E (Grades 3-5) participants solve the same Div E tournament problems, and all Division M (Grades 6-8) participants solve the same Div M tournament problems.
[Preparation] What are the expected topic coverages and difficulty levels?
Division E (Grades 3-5) tournament problems cover basic concepts from the four main topic areas of pre-algebra, basic geometry, basic number theory, and counting, with the target difficulty ranging from MOEMS-E to MATHCOUNTS school levels.
Division M (Grades 6-8) tournament problems cover introductory/intermediate concepts from the four main topic areas of algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics (counting and probability), with the target difficulty ranging from MOEMS-M to MATHCOUNTS chapter/state and AMC 8/10 levels.
[Preparation] Are there sample problems?
All past tournament problems and answers will be available for reference and practice in Results page. However, as this year will be the first official tournament, unfortunately there are no sample problems currently available.
