Update: The new PUMaC website is up. It can be found here. All of the information on this website, the wiki, will no longer be updated. For the most recent news and information regarding PUMaC, please go to the new website.


Welcome to the Official Power Competition Rules page. This page will continually be updated until all of the rules are written up. Until then, the following rules are subject to change without notice. We promise to have the rules completed well before registration begins. Until then, feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.


Eligibility

  • A full team will consist of 8 members.
  • A team member must not have reached his or her 20th birthday before January 1, 2010.
  • A team member must not have been enrolled full-time in a post-secondary institution before January 1, 2010.
  • See Registration Guidelines for registration deadlines. Teams that register after the late registration deadline, or after the contest's capacity is reached, will be put on a waiting list, and may be allowed to participate in the competition if space allows, or if previously registered teams withdraw.
  • No teams can register for the competition after the late registration/payment deadline (Sunday, November 1, 2009). If a registered team’s payment is not postmarked by this date, the team will automatically be placed at the end of the waiting list, and a team from the waiting list will be invited to participate instead. Though a place will be held for teams who are invited from the waiting list, teams will not be officially added to the competition until payment is received.
  • No team can be added to the competition after Sunday, November 8, 2009.
  • Generally, teams should come from single high schools, but teams from geographical regions (comprising members from several schools) coming from a long distance will be allowed for their own convenience. The current Director of the Princeton University Mathematics Competition will have the final word on the legitimacy of teams that do not come from an individual school.

Procedure

Each team will be following more or less the same procedure as those doing the Power Round for the main competition. The Power Test will be made available a week before the competition starts. Teams will have until 9 AM eastern time (Princeton time) on the day of the main competition to send us the solutions.

Submission

Power Round submission for teams that choose to compete only in the power round and not in the on-site full competition is limited to:

  • E-mail submission
  • Mail postmarked on or before Friday, November 20th, 2009.

Any other means of submission must be approved by PUMaC prior to the start of the competition. E-mail us if any of the top two methods of submission are not possible for your team, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
