At Math Field Day there are three contests, each with multiple grade levels:
Mad Hatter Marathon (grades 6-8, 9-10, 11-12)
Leap Frog Relay (grades 6-8, 9-10, 11-12)
Game Tournament (grades 6-8, 9-12)
Mad Hatter (MH) and Leap Frog (LF) run concurrently, and the Game Tournament (GT) takes place after MH and LF are over. So participants can choose one of MH or LF and compete in GT, if they wish (subject to space availability).
Students in a lower grade level, but not a higher one, are allowed to participate in a contest. For example, students in grades 8 and below are eligible to compete in a 9-10 contest (although they are encouraged to participate in the 6-8 contest, which is very similar in nature but is open to lower grades only). Students in grades 11-12 may compete in an 11-12 contest and/or a 9-12 contest, but not a 9-10 or 6-8 contest.
Please see the links below for more information about each contest, including sample problems from previous Mad Hatter and Leap Frog competitions.
