Regional

1. Each membership may enter one team, per problem, per division in a regional tournament.

2. If a membership wants to send more teams, it may purchase additional membership.

3. Primary team are often asked to demonstrate their problem solutions at this level, but they are not

scored.

4. Advancement Formula – In order to allow for fair advancement of teams from regional to state com-
petition, the formula refers to competing teams. If a team is listed on the tournament program fails

to compete, they are not considered a competing team, nor are they considered in determining the

formula. The advancement formula determines the number of team to advance, not the places of

teams to advance. However, tied teams will not be “split.”

• Divisions with 1-4 teams = 2 teams advance
• Divisions with 5-8 teams = 3 teams advance
• Divisions with 9-12 teams = 4 teams advance
• Divisions with 13 teams or greater = 5 teams advance
