More Information About EMCC Format

The format of the test consists of several competition rounds outlined below.

Individual Rounds

The individual rounds consist of two parts, taken one after another. The first part, the Speed Round, has 20 questions, each worth 3 points, in 25 minutes, emphasizing speed.

The second part, the Accuracy Round, has 10 questions, each worth 9 points, in 45 minutes, emphasizing accuracy in problem solving.

Each student's individual score is added to their team's score.

Team Round

The Team Round is a 60 minute round where everybody on the team can work together to solve 15 questions, each worth 20 points.

The questions will mostly be unrelated to each other, but some of them may be strung together by a common theme.

Guts Round

The Guts Round is a live round consisting of 24 questions in 75 minutes. The questions are given to the teams in sets of three.

The team then works together for as long as they need (within the 75 minute time limit) to solve these three problems. When they're ready, the runner drops off their answers at a scoring table, where they will receive the next set of three problems. The point value for each problem increases between each set of three.
