The competition will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in AASU's Fine Arts Auditorium. "The finest math students from each state will participate in the two-part competition," said Dale Kilhefner, professor of mathematics at AASU. "The tournament encourages a more challenging and competitive interest in math among high-achieving students from the region's high schools." The competition will cover multiple-choice and ciphering, or problem solving. Participants will work individually on the multiple-choice section; teams of four will be given 10 problems to solve in the ciphering section. The competition will conclude with a paper airplane contest with participants competing for both accuracy and distance. An awards ceremony will follow to recognize the top-ranking schools and individuals in both the varsity and junior varsity competitions. In addition, the top winner will be announced for each grade from nine through twelve. AASU's Department of Mathematics and the School of Computing co-sponsor the event. The tournament is publicized mainly in Georgia and South Carolina, but is open to all high schools. The deadline for registration is February 23.
