The New York State Mathematics League (NYSML) competition was originally held in 1973 and has been held annually in a different location each year since. It was founded by Alfred Kalfus. The American Regions Math League competition is based on the format of the NYSML competition. The current iteration contains four sections: the team round, power question, individual round, and a relay. These are done in competition in that order. All of these rounds are done without a calculator. Each individual team can have up to fifteen students, which is the usual amount per team. Like ARML, it has banned the user of calculators beginning in the 2009 contest.
Competition Format
There are four sections in the current iteration, done so in a day:
- A team round where a team collaborates to solve ten questions in twenty minutes. There is a possible 50 points to earn here.
- A power question where a team has an hour to complete ten questions which requires proofs and explanations for a possible 50 points.
- An individual round, where each team member has five groups of two questions to answer, with each group of questions taking ten minutes, totaling fifty minutes for ten questions for a possible 150 points.
- A relay round, where teams are broken up into five groups of three if possible. There are three problems, with each member giving their answer back to the next member until it hits the third member, who can rise at 3 minutes for a correct answer to get 5 points, or rise at the time limit of 6 minutes for a correct answer to get 3 points. The maximum is fifty points.
- This brings the total maximum for points to 300.
