Levels

You are here: Information --> Math Competitions --> MathCounts --> Levels

There are three levels of MathCounts: Chapter, State, and Nationals

Anyone can join this round. Your school can sign up as a team, or you alone can sign up as an individual. Top 12 individual scorers compete in the Countdown round, to see who receives the award for this round. After taking the rounds, the top 12 scorers, along with the top three teams, move on to State. (If you made it to state //just by team,// you cannot go to Nationals).
 * Chapter**

Representatives from the Chapter Competition move on to State. You take the Sprint, Target, and Team, and when the results are out, top 10 compete in the Countdown. Top four scorers move on to nationals to represent your state.
 * State**

The state teams fly to the competition place (and stay there for four days) to take the tests. After results are up, top 20 states will get announced, and top 12 scorers compete in the Countdown round. Whoever wins the Countdown is the national champion for the year.
