Find answers to the most common questions below. If you can't +find what you're looking for, feel free to email us at . + + + +## Registration + +
+How do I register my team? + +Registration is handled through [ContestDojo](https://contestdojo.com/). To +register: + +1. An adult (coach, parent, or guardian) creates a **Coach account** on + ContestDojo. +2. The coach creates an **Organization** (e.g., your school or club name) and + receives an **Organization Join Code**. +3. Students create their own ContestDojo accounts and join the organization + using that code. +4. The coach assigns students to a team and purchases seats. + +If you are unfamiliar with ContestDojo, please read our +[ContestDojo Guide](https://docs.berkeley.mt/s/contestdojo-guide). + +
+ +
+I'm a parent, not a teacher. Can I register my child? + +Yes! Any adult — parent, guardian, tutor, or otherwise — can register as a +"coach" on ContestDojo. The coach is simply the adult responsible for the team. +You do not need to be affiliated with a school. + +
+ +
+What if I don't have enough students for a full team? + +Students are allowed to register and compete individually or in small teams. +However, we recommend forming a full team if possible due to our scoring +guidelines (at least 4 for BMT, at least 3 for BmMT). Check the Teammate Finder +spreadsheet linked on each event page to connect with other students looking for +teammates. + +
+ +
+Do you offer fee waivers or financial aid? + +Yes! We want our tournaments to be accessible to all students. If your team +needs financial assistance, please contact with your +organization name and the number of seats you need waived. + +
+ +
+What is the refund or cancellation policy? + +If you need to cancel a registration, please email . If you +need to swap a student on your team rather than cancel entirely, we can help +with that as well. + +
+ +
+Can I switch between online and in-person registration? + +Online and in-person tournaments are separate registrations on ContestDojo. If +you'd like to switch, email and we can help you cancel one +registration and set up the other. + +
+ +## Eligibility + +
+Who is eligible to compete in BMT? + +BMT is open to any student in **grade 12 or below**, including advanced middle +school students. Students do not have to be local to the Bay Area, California, +or the U.S. to participate. Teams may have up to **6 students**. + +
+ +
+Who is eligible to compete in BmMT? + +BmMT is open to any student in **grade 8 or below**, including advanced +elementary school students. Students do not have to be local to the Bay Area, +California, or the U.S. to participate. Teams may have up to **5 students**. + +
+ +## Tournament Day + +
+Are calculators or other reference material allowed? + +Graph paper and calculators are prohibited, but protractors, rulers, and +compasses are permitted. Blank white scratch paper will be provided for all +participants. All answers must be exact, reduced, and simplified. Illegible +answers will not be graded. Cheating in any form will not be tolerated, and +failure to comply with all rules may result in immediate and irreversible +disqualification. + +
+ +
+Does my team need an adult chaperone? + +Yes. Every team must have an adult chaperone present on tournament day. The +chaperone is the person who registered as the "coach" on ContestDojo (or a +designated substitute). We ask that organizations provide at least one adult +chaperone for every two teams. + +
+ +
+Where can I find parking? How can I get to Berkeley? + +We do not provide travel or parking for students — coaches should arrange their +own travel logistics. There are a number of parking garages around campus, +including the Telegraph-Channing Garage, Underhill Structure, Lower Hearst +Structure, and the RSF Garage. + +The Telegraph-Channing Garage is recommended for most people; it is cheaper than +campus-owned garages (and free up to an hour) and more conveniently located than +most of the garages listed. + +Berkeley is also public-transport-friendly. The Downtown Berkeley BART station +is next to campus, and may be a good fit for those commuting from San Francisco +or the East Bay. For teams staying in Emeryville, bus line 36 will take you +directly to campus. Check the [AC Transit](https://www.actransit.org/) website +for more options. + +
+ +## Preparing for the Tournament + +
+How can I prepare? Are there practice problems available? + +Past tests and solutions are available on our [Resources](/resources/) page. We +also provide an [acceptable answer formats document](/assets/answer-formats.pdf) +and [common notions document](/assets/common-notions.pdf) that all students +should review before the tournament. + +
+ +## BMT-Specific + +
+What is the difference between Focus Tests and the General Test? + +Each student chooses **either** two Focus Tests (60 min each, subject-specific: +Algebra, Geometry, Discrete, Calculus) **or** the General Test (90 min, covering +all subjects). Focus Tests are harder but count for more toward your team's +score. Students who are confident in specific subjects should consider Focus +Tests; those who prefer a broader challenge should take the General Test. + +
+ +
+I'm in a different timezone or non-local and can't compete live at BMT. What are my options? + +There may be BMT Satellite competitions held through our partners across the +globe for competitors wishing to compete in a different time zone. Additionally, +we offer BMT Online for remote participation. Check the event pages for the +latest details. + +
+ +## BmMT-Specific + +
+I'm in a different timezone or non-local and can't compete live at BmMT. What are my options? + +We offer BmMT Online as a synchronous online event for those who cannot make it +to campus. Check the event pages for the latest dates and details. + +
+ +## After the Tournament + +
+When will scores and certificates be available? + +Score reports and participation certificates are typically available on +ContestDojo after the tournament. Results slides are posted on our website. If +you need a certificate reissued or have a question about your score, email +. + +
+ +
+How are awards handled? + +For in-person tournaments, awards are physically presented to contestants at the +closing ceremony. For online tournaments, we provide official rankings and +digital certificates for top-scoring teams, but there are no physical awards. + +
