Submitting Results:
Scores will be submitted using an excel spreadsheet. They will then be sent to two email addresses and one fax number. Click here to download the spreadsheet. When completed, it should be emailed simultaneously to currymath@gmail.com and chaotia@gmail.com. Then print out and fax the scores to 617 500 0979. Please be sure to apply the United States "country code" when dialing this number. This code is different for each country where the call originates so please check with your phone company for the correct code to use.
A day or so before the contest the proctors will receive all the questions as well as answers to the team, individual, and relay rounds. These must be kept secure. The questions should be run off the day of the contest. The Individual Round question sheet must be cut so that questions are submitted in pairs. The Relay Round question sheet must be cut so that students receive their one problem. No student can see the other problems in the relay.
Team Round: the team round will be graded on site. Each correct problem is worth 5 points. The spreadsheet for submitting the results can be found here. Put a 5 or a 0 under the number of each question on the excel spreadsheet. This information will help us obtain statistics on the difficulty of each question.
Power Question: remember, the team as a whole submits one answer to each question. Do not have each student submit an answer. The Power Question will be graded in the States so fax the solutions to the following number: 617 500 0979. Please be sure to apply the United States "country code" when dialing this number. This code is different for each country where the call originates so please check with your phone company for the correct code to use.
The reason for grading the question in the States is that the authors create a grading rubric prior to the contest. But in the morning of the contest the large group of graders goes over the contest and modifies what will be done. During the actual contest additional changes may be made to the points that are given out. The reason for all this is simple--we simply don't know all the different responses of the students.
Individual Round: student answers will be graded on site. Results will be submitted on the spreadsheet found here. Note that the student names must be listed, last name first, followed by a comma, and then the first name. Note also that under each problem number the student will receive a 1 or a 0.
Relay Round: the third persons' answers will be graded on site. 5 points for a correct answer after 3 minutes and 3 points for a correct answer after 6 minutes. Results should be submitted on the spreadsheet found here. Only the total number of points for each team of 15 on each relay is to be given.
