Soli Deo Gloria High School Fall Mathematics Tournament, sponsored in part by Cyworld Inc.

Dear Math Team Sponsor,

We have been so warmly welcomed into the academic competition community. We want to thank everyone for their encouragement by hosting our own meet to the community. The Soli Deo Gloria Home Educators Math Club is hosting a varsity math tournament Sept. 22 at Southern Crescent Church** / New Creation Center**, 334 Lake Dow Road, McDonough, right off Hwy 81 East of McDonough. Directions can be found at http://scbcga.org/directions.htm .We are inviting 4 person varsity level math teams from schools throughout the area. The cost is only $20 a team and includes a pizza lunch, but we are only able to accomodate 150 students. The tournament will run from approximately 9:30 to 2:30.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 10 overall students, the top 5 students under 11th grade, the top 5 ciphering students, and the top 10 teams. Because we have a small facility, we are limiting registration to only one team per school initially. If you are interested in bringing an additional team, please check the box on the registration form and we will add your second team to a waiting list. You will be informed of the status of your second team shortly after the registration deadline of September 10.
