First Round

• Participants must correctly evaluate indefinite single variable integrals in the time allotted.

• Participants will take turns solving integrals. Each participant will have a minute and a half to evaluate an integral, and unlike in previous years, each contestant will work on a new integral, even if the previous contestant did not correctly solve their integral.

• Each participant is allowed one lifeline during the competition. He/she may call timeout and consult with anyone in the audience on relevant integration techniques for 20 seconds before proceeding. The lifeline cannot simply state the answer to a problem. The participant cannot write during this consultation. Lifelines may raise their hands to indicate their willingness to help. A lifeline may not be taken back, and neither the verifiers nor the MC can be called upon as lifelines.

• If a participant misses an integral, then he/she is eliminated from the competition.

Lightning Round(s)

• There may be one or two lightning rounds after the first round, depending on the number of remaining participants. In this case, all remaining contestants will compete head-to-head to see who can correctly evaluate the given integral the fastest. Participants may continue to solve even after a wrong answer.

Final Round

• The 3 remaining participants after 1 to 2 lightning rounds will compete head-to-head on the chalkboard, attempting to solve the same integral. The first person to complete the integral correctly wins. Participants may continue to solve even after a wrong answer.

• Prizes will be given to all participants who make it to the final round.

Solution(s)

• Only solutions are required, no work must be shown. The solution must be circled and clearly indicated. No calculators or other devices are allowed. A '+C' is not required for indefinite integrals.

• In the first round, only one attempt at a solution is allowed. You must indicate when you are ready to give your final answer. In the final rounds, multiple attempts at a solution are allowed.
