FTW tournament!
evt917   34
N a few seconds ago by Yrock
[center]Since all FTW tournaments have dramatically failed, I'm trying a different format. Here is how it works:

1. Type \signup{your rating (type 800 for unrated)}

2. You will pick who you want to play with. You can play if they accept your challenge. So basically the players run everything. Just don't intentionally play low-rated people. Also try to play different people so everyone gets a chance to play!

3. If you win, you get 2 points. However, if you win games in a row, you get more points per win. When you win $n$ games in a row, you score $n+1$ points instead of $2$ points, until you hit getting $ > 8$ points per win, where you just get 8 points per win consistently. A tie equals $1$ point, and a loss is zero. A tie or a loss will break your win streak.

4. I do not know everybody's time preferences. Because so, I will announce in advance which two players will be playing, so they themselves can organize a game themselves. Remember, THE PLAYERS ARE ORGANIZING THE GAMES THEMSELVES!!! The format is up to them, but please make the time control at least 20 seconds. Please announce the results of the game here so i can update the scoreboard. Games can be unrated.

recommended format if you cannot decide



5. The tournament goes on until april 22nd! Extremely long, right? Note that you can still signup after the first games has started, but you will have a disadvantage because some people who signed up as soon as the tournament started already has points.

6. Once you are done with your game, you can find a new opponent and play with them if they want. Have fun!

For those asking about the removal of the tiers, I'd like to quote Jason himself:

Help contribute by sharing your state's cutoffs!
As per last year's guidelines, refrain from problem discussion until their official release on the MATHCOUNTS website.

Probability problem

A spinner is colored with 5 red sectors and 5 black sectors, with each sector of equal area. Two sectors
are then randomly labeled W. I then spin the spinner twice. What is the probability that in both
spins, I land on a sector labeled W that is red?

Mathcounts state iowa
iwillregretthisnamelater   14
N 27 minutes ago by Catcumber
Ok I’m a 6th grader in Iowa who got 38 in chapter which was first, so what are the chances of me getting in nats? I should feel confident but I don’t. I have a week until states and I’m getting really anxious. What should I do? And also does the cdr count in Iowa? Because I heard that some states do cdr for fun or something and that it doesn’t count to final standings.

2024 MATHCOUNTS Nats Cutoff Map

Greetings!

I should first and foremost thank those who helped with this project along the way. This idea is fully inspired by past South Dakota alumni that attended my school. The original ideas were created by @anser and @techguy2. I would also like to thank @peace09 for agreeing to collaborate with me on the scores and ratings during the 2024 state competitions throughout the country.

@peace09's post Cutoffs and Scores

Please state your state and cutoff score. (4th place) You can also provide the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place scores as well. People from different territories can also provide their state's scores as well. I will try my best to keep this map updated until we get all the scores. You are also free to discuss states and nationals stuff too if you want. :)

(Btw congratulations to everyone who made nationals, I hope to see you guys there too!)

Could you make it light colors for low cutoffs and dark colors for high cutoffs. I like that red is 38-40 and orange is 35-36. Blue should probably be more at the lower end.
It makes it easier for viewers to see where high vs low cutoff states are without referring to the legend after every state.

35-36 maybe like very dark red
33-34 red
31-32 orange
29-30 yellow
24-26 (very) light green
20-26 (very very) light blue

How about the same color, but different shades? idk what software you are using and how many shades are available, but this might be a good place to start the color scheme.
