The main organizer of the event is Dr. Rosalie Nichols. This has been an annual event started in 1999. There may be as many teams as can be formed from the same high school, as long as each team has at most three members. Members of the same team can do research together and discuss the solutions. However, they cannot get hints or have discussions with people who are not team members.
Students have about two months to work on the problems and complete the solutions.
The submitted solutions should be typed and relevant graphs should be as professionally made as possible.
