In the event of school closings, special administrative functions, testing days, severely inclement weather, or similar disruptions of the normal school schedule, permission is granted to conduct the contest on a proximate school day. Students who are absent or who take the contest at any later time or period must not be included on the score report sent to the League. Neither the proctor nor anyone else may interpret any problem to any student during the contest. Each participant should be given a copy of the contest. Answers for each problem must appear in the appropriate space in the answer column.
Answers written elsewhere receive no credit.
After the signal to begin is given by the proctor, the timing of the contest will begin. No other warnings or announcements about the contest should be made during the contest to any participant. No credit may be awarded for partial answers. These reports will be used to determine the award winners. The advisor is responsible for the accuracy of the report.
