Welcome to the Diamond MathCounts Team! The Diamond MathCounts team is a group of young, promising math students working to better their skills through consistent practice. This is a selective team of high-performing math students in grades 6, 7th, and 8th.
The selection process will take place over three tryouts and end with a team of about 20 students. Throughout practices, students will be cut to a final 12 for the Chapter Competition.

Students will first receive a Sprint round and will have 40 minutes to complete, any submissions after the time are up will not be counted. NO calculators will be allowed for the Sprint round.

There will be cuts after each tryout, results of who is invited to participate in the next round, will be posted on Google Classroom. I will try to post with two days of the tryout.
