Contest Rules

1️⃣ General Rules

• An adult should supervise young students during the contest.
• Once started, you have 45 minutes to complete the contest.
• Work alone – no help from parents, teachers, friends, or the internet.
• Use only pencil, paper, and the on-screen tools provided.
• You may attempt one grade level per round.

2️⃣ Unfair Participation

Unfair participation happens when someone gets help or uses resources not allowed. Examples:

• Using calculators or searching answers online.
• Reading formulas or notes during the contest.
• Parents, teachers, or friends giving hints or solutions.
• Communicating with other students about the questions.

Even well-intentioned help (like translating a tricky word) can make results unfair.

3️⃣ Consequences

• Scores obtained with unfair help may be removed from rankings.
• Serious or repeated issues can lead to account suspension.
• We reserve the right to adjust or remove results if integrity is in doubt.
