Round Details

Proposition Type Time (min) Weight Description
1 Power Round Team 90 30% of team score This round will be proof-based of varied length. Students will explore a mathematical concept and prove expository results about the topic. The Power Round will be graded not only on correctness, but also clarity and comprehensiveness of solutions.
2 Individual Round Individual 60 5% of team score per student This round has 10 problems in a traditional exam format, each weighted equally. The problems will be roughly arranged in order of difficulty. These problems will consist of a wide variety of mathematical topics.
3 Team Round Team 60 30% of team score This round consists of 10 problems, and each are weighted equally. The problems will be roughly arranged in order of difficulty and will consist of a wide variety of mathematical topics. Teams will have to collaborate effectively in order to do well.
4 Wolverine Round Team 60 20% of team score This round focuses on speed and accuracy. Teams will have 60 minutes to solve 24 problems, divided into 8 sets of 3 problems each. Each team must submit their answers to a set before receiving the next set, and once a set is submitted, teams cannot return to a previous set. Later problem sets will be weighed more, though they will also be more difficult on average.
5 Tiebreaker Round Individual Varies 0% of team score This round will serve as a tiebreaker for the highest scoring indiviuals. Competitors will receive three problems, and allowed to begin at the same time. When a competitor submits their answers, their time will be recorded, and ties will be broken first by number of correct answers and then by order.
