Divisions & Format
There will be an in-person testing site at the Park Tudor School for Indiana residents and/or in-person competitors. There will also be a virtual testing site on Zoom, which is open to all woman-identifying and/or non-binary students, regardless of residence. International students are welcome. All tests and contest rules are the same, regardless of testing site. However, if possible, participants are encouraged to attend the competition in-person if possible.There are two divisions: the middle school division and the high school division. The middle school division is aimed towards students in grades 6-8 and exceptionally bright elementary school students. The problem difficulty for problems in the middle school division range from MATHCOUNTS School to mid-AMC 10 level, accounting for a wide range of problem solving abilities.The high school division is aimed towards students in grades 9-12 and academically advanced middle school students. The problem difficulty in the high school division ranges from Algebra II to AIME level, accounting for a wide range of problem solving abilities.There are three rounds: individual round, team round, and buzzer round. In the individual round, students will be given 40 minutes to complete a set of 20 problems. The questions are written, not multiple choice, and there is no penalty for guessing. All problems are worth the same.In the team round, students will be randomly grouped with other students in their division (middle & high school) into groups of 3-4 students. There will be 10 problems in the team round and students will have 30 minutes to solve as many as possible, collaborating and engaging in critical thinking with their team mates. There is no penalty for guessing answers and all questions are worth the same.In the buzzer round, students from the middle and high school division are combined in a Kahoot/MATHCOUNTS countdown-style competition. Students will have to buzz in to answer the question, and the student who answers the fastest and most accurately will win the grand prize.Each round is considered separately, meaning your team and buzzer scores will not affect your individual placement. Prizes are also given by round, so a student who performs well in the individual round but poorly in the buzzer round may still win a prize for their individual performance.
Information on PrizesPrizes are TBD. Please return to this page in the foreseeable future for updates on placement prizes. Rest assured, IndyINTEGIRLS has historically given out very generous cash prizes and scholarships and will continue to do so for the Winter Competition. All competitors, regardless of testing location, will be entered into raffle prizes and will be eligible for participation prizes. In-person attendees will receive free food and a free t-shirt. All in-person registrations must be completed by December 7th, 2024 at 11:59 PM EST for guarantee of a free shirt.
