Event Information + Rules

• The Spring 2022 Belmont Math Hunt will be held on Thursday, May 26 at Chenery Middle School and is open to all Chenery students.
• Students may form teams of 2-4 students or sign up as an individual such that the organizers will group individual participants into teams.
• The competition will consist of themed problem sets distributed throughout several classrooms, and teams will have a period of 90 minutes to freely travel around and conquer as many as they can.
• A team will enter a room, work on the problem set, and submit answers to a grader for points.
• For solving problems, teams will earn a number of points based on correctness, how quickly it was solved, and how many other teams solved it, so plan your excursion accordingly! More details about how scores are calculated will be released soon.
• Members of a team must remain together, but teams can choose to go to whichever rooms they want.
• As teams solve problems, scores will be updated in real-time on a spreadsheet. 
• When the main competition ends, participants may join fun events such as a countdown tournament, a trivia kahoot, or card games. 
• As the event comes to a close, prizes will be awarded to teams and individuals based on performance and other criteria such as creative team names, winning the social events, etc. 
• There will be free snacks available at the end!
• In order to protect the competition’s integrity, students are not allowed to use external resources (notes, calculators, websites) or attempt to cheat in any way. If there is any compelling reason to believe that a student gained an unfair advantage, their team’s results may be disqualified.
