NOTE: MCT Masters round is by invitation only based on students' first round result. As most of you might know, the Math Challenge Tournament Masters round is typically being held in April. The Masters tournament is an in-person event and typically attended by 500 – 600 people. Our priority is the safety of everyone. Given the Omicron variant surging rapidly in Washington state, unfortunately this event will not be happening in 2022. We are hopeful that the Masters tournament will be back in Spring 2023.
Tie Breaker (for Masters round only)
If there is a tie between individuals, the student with the higher Problem-Solving score will receive the higher rank. If a tie remains after this comparison, the ties are broken based on the following, in this order:
- Number of problems answered correctly from the Problem-Solving Challenge questions 16-20, number of problems answered correctly from Problem-Solving Challenge questions 9-15, number of problems answered correctly from Problem Solving Challenge questions 1-8, highest numbered single problem answered correctly on the Problem Solving Challenge starting with question 20 and working backwards.
- Mental Math Challenge score, highest numbered single problem answered correctly on the Mental Math Challenge starting with question 40 working backwards.
