The entirety of the event, including the Opening and Awards ceremonies, as well as the testing rounds, will take place on Zoom, video conferencing software. Students should download the Zoom software to their computer prior to the event. The Zoom meeting link will be sent to students the morning of the event.
All rounds will be taken on the ContestDojo platform. Students will use the platform to view problems, submit answers, as well as collaborate with their teams.
All students should ensure that they can login to ContestDojo prior to the event. If students were registered by a coach, they have received an email containing their sign-in details. If students are having trouble logging in or locating the BmMT 2025 Online event, please try the Forgot Password function, or email team@berkeley.mt for assistance.
A sample test has been opened on ContestDojo for students to familiarize themselves with the platform. A brief guide on how to use the site will also be shown during the opening ceremony, though we highly encourage students to try the sample test beforehand to ensure a smooth process.
The Puzzle Round will involve the use of a separate website, in addition to ContestDojo. Instructions on how to use the Puzzle Round website will be provided on Zoom prior to the start of the test.
Tiebreakers
Reminder that we have a new Automatic Tiebreaking Policy! If you are not called for a tiebreaker round, this does not mean you did not place in the top five.
If necessary, additional tiebreaker rounds will be held as needed for top scorers in the Individual Round. Tiebreaker qualifiers will be announced at the end of lunch, and will take a 15-minute test during the activities session. The test will consist of three questions, and be scored primarily on correctness and secondarily on submission time; that is, an earlier submission will be worth more than a later one with the same number of correct answers, but less than a later one with more correct answers.
Activities
After the Relay Round, we will be hosting student activities. These are optional activities that promote recreational math, and include the following:
-
Estimathon — Got wit and strategy? Come to our Estimathon®, a contest combining trivia, strategic planning, and sharp mathematical thinking. Teams of up to 3 will race against the clock to tackle a challenging set of 13 Fermi-style problems, testing their ability to think fast and outsmart the competition.
-
Turtle Art — Unleash your creativity while learning to code! Explore the basics of Python programming using Turtle, a graphics library that turns code into cool drawings. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity!
-
Infini-bee — Get to know infinity in our Infinity Bee, more affectionately known as the Infini-bee! What happens when you add infinite numbers? Draw unlimited shapes? Perform boundless jumps? Learn all of this and more at our Infini-bee!
Awards
Top-scoring individuals and teams will be announced at the Awards Ceremony from 4:30 – 5:00 PM. For BmMT Online, we will provide an official ranking as well as certificates for top-scoring teams. However, there will not be physical awards for the online tournament.
