Coaches are responsible for being familiar with all of the rules and procedures.
A team may consist of up to four students. Individual students may register in addition to or in lieu of a school team. These school coaching sessions spur students to view mathematics as exciting, challenging, rewarding and fun. The school competition is intended to be an aid to the coach in determining competitors for the local competition. Selection of team members is entirely at the discretion of coaches and need not be based solely on school competition scores.
