Event Details Previous Logistics Post

Zoom Link

The event this weekend will be taking place over Zoom. Please ensure that you have the latest Zoom app installed on your computer. All coaches and students have received an email with the Zoom link. If you have not received the email, please email us at questions@bmt.berkeley.edu.

ContestDojo Sample Rounds

Tests will be conducted through the ContestDojo platform, which is the same as the website that you used to register. We have now opened a Sample Individual Round and a Sample Team Round that you can use to familiarize yourself with the system, especially collaborating with your team. We highly recommend all participants test out their system before the contest — if you run into any issues, please email us at questions@bmt.berkeley.edu.

Guts Round Scoreboard

As a reminder, the Guts Round is taken in 9 sets of 3 problems and graded live on a public leaderboard. You will be able to see your team's progress as well as the progress of other teams. The live scoreboard will be streamed over Zoom and can additionally be accessed at this link on the day of the event: https://tinyurl.com/bmt-2023-online-guts.

Activities

We will be hosting two activities over Zoom from 3:30 to 4:30 PM. The descriptions are shown below.

Tiebreakers will also be held at this time. Names will be announced at the end of lunch on Zoom as well as posted on the website.

• Integration Bee — Compete against the best integrators around! Students will face off in an exciting integration race, solving difficult integrals involving some clever tricks, to determine who will be the champion of all integrators.
• Estimathon — A team-based contest that combines trivia, game theory, strategy, and mathematical thinking. Teams of ~3 will be under a time limit to work on a set of 13 Fermi-style problems.

Waivers

Reminder that waivers MUST be completed prior to the tournament. No exceptions can be made — the system will lock you out of starting a test until your waiver is completed.

We're excited to see everyone online in a few days! As always, if you need a question answered, or have a issue/concern leading up to the event, please email us at questions@bmt.berkeley.edu. We'll be happy to take care of your issue ASAP.

Best regards,
BMT Coordinators
