Student Eligibility

  • Students must be in grade 8 or below to be eligible for BmMT.

How to Register

Most pre- and post-contest tasks, including registration, team assignments, signing of waivers, and viewing score reports, may be completed at ContestDojo, an online math competition platform. If you are unfamiliar with ContestDojo, please read our ContestDojo Guide.

All contestants are required to have their parent/guardian sign UC Berkeley's consent waivers through this portal. Contestants will NOT be allowed to take the contest without having a signed liability and consent to treatment waiver.

Any questions about the ContestDojo portal should be directed to us at team@berkeley.mt.

Teammate Finder

Students may register as a team of 1. However, it is beneficial to compete on a team of at least 3 due to our scoring guidelines. For students who do not have a full team, we have organized Teammate Finder spreadsheets. Follow all outlined steps in the spreadsheet.
