Judging Criteria

Winners are determined by cumulative scores across several rounds: team round, power round (proof-based), individual round, and a 'guts' round with multiple question sets. Problems are weighted by difficulty with higher-numbered questions worth more points. Teams submit answers electronically or on-site, with scoring done centrally. Highest total team scores across rounds determine winners. The contest emphasizes accuracy and problem-solving skills over speed. Results and solutions are published post-competition.
