Annual Competitions
American Regions Math League
Number of Team Members: 15
Number of Teams: 2
Website: http://www.arml.com/
Date: June 2, 2007
Competition Description:
The American Regions Mathematics League's annual competition brings together the nation's finest students. They meet, compete against, and socialize with one another, forming friendships and sharpening their mathematical skills. Since its inception in 1976, ARML has snowballed, burgeoned, and mushroomed into a national program, involving almost 2000 students and teachers from almost every state. Simply put, ARML is the World Series of mathematics competitions. The contest is written for high school students, although some exceptional junior high students attend each year. The competition consists of several events, which include a team round, a power question (in which a team solves proof-oriented questions), an individual round, two relay rounds (in which a contestant solves a problem and passes his/her answer to another team member, who uses this answer to solve another problem), and a super relay.
Princeton University Math Competition
Number of Team Members: 10
Number of Teams: 2
Website: https://cgi.math.princeton.edu/mathclub/index.php/Princeton_Math_Competition
Date: December 16, 2006
Competition Description:
The Princeton University Mathematics Competition (PUMaC) is designed for and is open to all students under 20 years old and not currently enrolled in college (i.e. high school students, home-schooled students, and even younger students with high mathematical ability). This competition focuses heavily on teamwork. The maximum size for a team is 10 contestants. We will accept teams of less than 10 people, and even individual entries; we'll try to combine such entries into teams of 10 if the participants so desire. Schools or other organizations may send multiple teams. There will be a short answer individual test, a short answer team test, a full solution power test, and relays. The competition will be split into upper and lower divisions. While all the contestants will be taking the same tests, teams in the lower division will be competing for lesser awards.
Harvard-MIT Math Tournament
Number of Team Members: 8
Number of Teams: 3

Date: February 24, 2007
Competition Description:
The Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament (HMMT) is an annual math tournament for high school students, held at MIT and at Harvard in alternate years. It is run exclusively by MIT and Harvard students. Most of us participated in math contests in high school, and we try to incorporate what we liked best about those competitions into HMMT. We hope this will make the contest both challenging and entertaining for all the participants.
American High School Internet Mathematics Competition
Number of Team Members: 5
Number of Teams: 3
Website: http://www.ahsimc.com/
Date: September 13-17, 2007
Competition Description:
AHSIMC (or the iTest) was founded in 2004 and takes place each September, offering students from across the country to compete against the best and brightest high school students in a highly competitive environment. Any American high school student may compete in a team of up to five people. Students are not required to be students of the same school, or even residents of the same state. Because of the decentralized nature of the competition, an advisor is required for each team to monitor the team and vouch for compliance with the competition's rules.
Purple Comet Middle/High School Mathematics Meet
Number of Team Members: 6
Number of Teams: 3
Website: http://purplecomet.org/cgi-bin/mathmeet/deliverpage.pl?file=index.tem
Date: April 16-20, 2007
Competition Description:
The Purple Comet Math Meet is an internet-based mathematical competition open to teams of students from anywhere in the world enrolled in middle school or high school (or local equivalent), or home-schooled students who are at a comparable level. A team may have as few as one student and as many as six students. No student may participate on more than one team. The high school competition will consist of 25 mathematics problems each with a non-negative integer answer.
