5、Acceptance of Terms: By submitting their entries, participants agree to all competition terms and conditions. The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any participant believed to have violated any competition rules, and there will be no appeals process.

Scoring Criteria

Knowledge Accuracy and Logical Coherence:Accurately use core math knowledge (algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics) for this online competition. Ensure strict logic in every step—from knowledge application to reasoning and conclusion—with no errors or gaps. For proofs and analyses, grasp key concepts like mathematical modeling and logical deduction, and follow systematic mathematical thinking.

Method Application and Skill Demonstration: Use problem-specific strategies (e.g., factorization for algebra, auxiliary lines for geometry, classified counting for combinatorics) in this online exam setting. Analyze data with statistical tools and integrate interdisciplinary thinking for complex problems. Show solid math literacy by applying theorems accurately and simplifying calculations efficiently, matching the difficulty levels of HMMT November (AMC10/12–AIME) and February (AIME–USAMO) tournaments.

Follow HMMT’s standards for online submission: write formula derivations and proofs with precise mathematical symbols and terms. Keep language concise, professional, and easy to understand. For individual contests, present answers clearly; for team proof contests, structure responses with given conditions, reasoning, and conclusions, and label each step’s basis to facilitate online grading.

In-depth Understanding and Expansion Innovation: Go beyond basic problem-solving to explore the mathematical principles and real-world applications behind questions in this online tournament. Link math concepts to practical scenarios (e.g., combinatorial counting for real-world optimization) and propose innovative ideas like integrating advanced math into youth education to showcase flexible knowledge application.

Awards must be applied for by the winners themselves. After completing the ordering process, the awards will be sent out within approximately two months. If winners wish to learn more about the specific requirements and application process for the awards, it is recommended to log into the designated award application platform of the association to carefully review the detailed guidelines and explanatory documents for the latest information.

The certificates issued this time are in English, while the medals and trophies are presented in Chinese. Winners must accurately fill out their names in both Chinese and English, the school they attend, their email, and other information. If there are errors in the submitted information that require modification, please contact us via WhatsApp for one free modification opportunity; subsequent modifications will incur a fee of HKD 100 each.

Each certificate is assigned a unique identification number, which corresponds to the winner's name for verification purposes by the school. If a winner modifies the certificate information without authorization, it will result in the certificate becoming invalid.
