Due to its small size, Rhode Island has no chapters. Instead, students progress straight to the state competition from their schools. The state competition is generally held on the first Saturday of March at the Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI), Warwick.

A normal state competition consists of the Sprint round, followed by a break for muffins/donuts, etc., then the Target round, which is followed by lunch. After lunch, the team round takes place, and then there is a brief waiting period until the countdown round competitors are announced. After the countdown round the awards ceremony takes place, and the top 6 teams and their coaches, the top 4 in the countdown round, and the top 4 on the written competition are recognized and presented with trophies.

The state coordinator is Paul Bannon, who can be reached at (401) 486-8829 or pbannon@cox.net for questions regarding Rhode Island State MathCounts competitions and teams.
