Students will use the +platform to view problems, submit answers, as well as collaborate with their +teams. + +All students should ensure that they can login to ContestDojo prior to the +event. If students were registered by a coach, they have received an email +containing their sign-in details. If students are having trouble logging in or +locating the BmMT 2026 Online event, please try the Forgot Password function, or +email for assistance. + +A sample test has been opened on ContestDojo for students to familiarize +themselves with the platform. A brief guide on how to use the site will also be +shown during the opening ceremony, though we highly encourage students to try +the sample test beforehand to ensure a smooth process. + +The Puzzle Round will involve the use of a separate website, in addition to +ContestDojo. Instructions on how to use the Puzzle Round website will be +provided on Zoom prior to the start of the test. + +## Tiebreakers + +Reminder that we have an Automatic Tiebreaking Policy! If you are not called +for a tiebreaker round, this does _not_ mean you did not place in the top five. + +If necessary, additional tiebreaker rounds will be held as needed for top +scorers in the Individual Round. Tiebreaker qualifiers will be announced at the +end of lunch, and will take a 15-minute test during the activities session. The +test will consist of three questions, and be scored primarily on correctness and +secondarily on submission time; that is, an earlier submission will be worth more +than a later one with the same number of correct answers, but less than a later +one with more correct answers. + +### Activities + +After the Relay Round, we will be hosting student activities. These are optional +activities that promote recreational math, and include the following: + +- **Estimathon** — Got wit and strategy? Come to our Estimathon®, a contest + combining trivia, strategic planning, and sharp mathematical thinking. Teams + of up to 3 will race against the clock to tackle a challenging set of 13 + Fermi-style problems, testing their ability to think fast and outsmart the + competition. + +- **Puzzle Hunt** — Are you a fan of logical reasoning? Puzzle Hunt is an + experience with competition that includes lateral thinking, teamwork, patterns, + and many other elements. Teams will be racing against a time limit of 60 minutes + to solve a series of puzzles, unlocking new puzzles as you progress to reach the + final mystery. + +- **Countdown** — Miss the excitement of the MATHCOUNTS® Countdown Round? Come put + your mental math skills to the test in a countdown match to see who can solve + problems the fastest! + +## Awards + +Top-scoring individuals and teams will be announced at the Awards Ceremony from +3:30 – 4:00 PM. For BmMT Online, we will provide an official ranking as well as +certificates for top-scoring teams. However, there will not be physical awards +for the online tournament. + +[Zoom]: https://zoom.us/ +[ContestDojo]: https://contestdojo.com/
