2012 Tournament Wrap-Up and Tests; Future Blog Posts

A big thank you to everyone who made it out for the tournament this past weekend! By our account it was a big success, and we hope you enjoyed the tests and will continue to work on them to become better math team students!

Our tournament next year will be on March 2, 2013, so please mark your calendars for that date. One new change we plan on implementing is that we will have a 6th Grade level (Divisions I & II) for the upcoming tournament. Now that 6th Grade is typically a middle school grade, we feel it should be included in the tournament. For those of you who will be in the 6th grade next year, if you want to come to our tournament, talk to your math team teacher about attending.

We had a couple of changes to the written tests, in particular to Algebra 1 and Geometry, but I have fixed those in order to accept only one answer. The corrected versions, along with ciphering and test keys, are available here: 2012 Tournament Tests and Ciphering (same password as before).

I hope that you have found this blog/website informative, and I hope to use it to address any future concerns. Please feel free to post comments as you see fit. I figure, for example, if people want to know how to do particular problems, I can post responses here, and we can use this site for anything else pertinent to the tournament, even in the "off-season".

We look forward to seeing everyone for our next tournament on Saturday, March 2, 2013!

Tournament Still Going On As Planned

We fielded many e-mails and phone calls today, but we wanted everyone to know that the tournament is still going on as planned tomorrow. The weather has been bad, but it looks like it will have cleared the area by the morning.

If it becomes necessary to delay the start, we will do that, but that decision will not be made until the morning.

Please be careful as you travel to Hoover High School tomorrow, and we will see you in the morning!
