SoR State Tournament
When & Where
The State Tournament will take place in two parts on two days. The first part is the Invitational Event on Monday, 8 March 2021, from 4:00 to 5:30 pm. ISM-ERA has a mathlete participating for the fifth time in six years. The Invitational has traditionally been a 30-minute, 14-question, 24-points event, with eight 1-point questions (8 points total), four 2-point questions (8 points), and two 4-point questions (8 points). The mathletes with the top ten scores on the Invitational advance to the Math Bowl.
The second part is the typical Meet, with individual events (A, B, C, D) and a team event on Monday, 15 March 2021. from 9:00 am to noon. ISM-ERA will be participating as a team for the fifth time in six years, and fifth year in a row.
This second part will also include the Math Bowl, which is a competition among the ten mathletes with the highest scores from the Invitational Event.
Both parts will take place online via the Math League online application at scoringmnmathleague.org.

Who
Perhaps the single saddest thing about Math Team is that, during a typical year, due to physical school capacity and supervision constraints, participation in the state tournament is limited to scoring team mathletes (and one alternate per team) only. In recent years 38 teams have been invited (out of about 175 teams statewide), so that is 9 x 38 = 342 mathletes (out of about 2500+ statewide).
