'''Minnesota MathCounts''' is Minnesota's division of the national [[mathematics competition]], [[MathCounts]]. It follows the standard format. There is a Countdown Round, although it does not affect the score. The Countdown Round is a single-elimination tournament involving either 12 or 16 students. In years when only 12 students compete, the four students receiving first-round byes are chosen at random so as to postpone the announcement of the top four students until the awards banquet.

'''Minnesota MathCounts''' is one of the state competitions held for [[MathCounts]]. The Countdown Round takes the top 16 students and is unofficial, so countdown winners get separate awards. The state team is picked solely based on written round scores. The competition is held every year at the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West Hotel in Plymouth on the second weekend of March (Friday-Saturday).
