Scoring
• Calculated by taking the sum of the number of Sprint
Round (40 minutes, 30 problems) questions answered
correctly and twice the number of Target Round (30
minutes, 8 problems presented in four pairs) questions
answered correctly.
• Maximum Score is 30 + 2(8) = 46
Individual Score
• Calculated by dividing the sum of the team members’
Individual Scores by 4 and adding twice the number of
Team Round (20 minutes, 10 problems) questions
answered correctly.
• Highest possible Individual Score is 46, therefore the
maximum possible Team Score is
((46+46+46+46) / 4)+2(10) =66
Team Score
• Ties between individuals: Student with the higher Sprint
Round score will receive the higher rank. If those are the
same, then specific questions are considered. Questions
get more difficult as you go on, so more difficult
questions answered correctly will rank you higher.
• Ties between teams: Teams with the higher Team Round
score, and then the higher sum of the team member’s
Sprint Round scores, receives the higher rank. If a tie
still remains specific questions from the Team round will
be considered
