General Information
The Harvard-MIT Mathematics Online Tournament is a remote version of the contest organized for teams and individuals that could not attend the Cambridge tournament due to space or distance limitations.
For general information about the tests, see
here.
Registration
Starting with November 2018, the HMMT Online Tournament
will be completely automated using the HMMT Hydrogen system,
and advance registration will no longer be necessary.
Moreover, the administration of the contest will no longer
require any involvement from a coach.
However, each student will need a computer with an Internet connection.
To join the HMMT Online Tournament,
a student should simply enter the
online contest system
at the designated time.
Contest rules, submissions, and scoring
For the Online Tournament, all answers will be integers,
and instructions will be provided for participants
on how to input the answers.
The scoring of HMMT Online is different from the on-site contests.
The problems are all assigned pre-determined weights,
and students will receive feedback immediately on their answers,
in real-time (up to a submission limit).
The HMMT February Team Round (which is proof-based)
and the Guts Round are not part of the Online Tournament.
However, these problems are posted on the
problems archive,
and so you are more than welcome to try the problems yourself later on.
If you are a coach who wants to run the Guts Round or February Team Round
for your students on the day of the tournament,
please contact
request@hmmt.org,
and we can provide you with the problems and solutions files.
In order to simulate the conditions of the contest,
all competitors are asked to adhere to the rules set out for the on-site Tournament,
which can be found
here.
In short, students may not use any construction or computational aids including graph paper,
calculators, compasses, rulers, etc.
or consult any outside or online sources while participating in the contest.
Proctoring and Administration
Participants in the Online Tournament
can work from anywhere and do not need a proctor.
The contest server will manage all timing and grading.
(That said, teams competing may be located in the same physical location;
it's probably more fun this way.)
