[2018 ARML] - ARML Local on Sunday!

Hi everyone,

Our next practice will be this Sunday, April 22, 2pm-6pm, at El Palo Alto Room, Mitchell Park Community Center, in Palo Alto. You can find information about this and subsequent practices at the practice website: https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/.

We will be participating in ARML Local at this practice. This is an official ARML-style competition written by ARML. Since this is an official contest, please ensure that you arrive on time (and budget some time to park). Additionally, note that this practice is longer than usual in order for us to have sufficient time to complete the contest.

Simon will be in charge of assembling teams for the ARML Local competition. For anyone wanting to be placed onto an elite team for ARML Local, you need to check in with Simon at the entrance of El Palo Alto Room by 2:00pm sharp. People who arrive after team selection is complete will be assigned to teams in the order of when they arrive. Note: these teams are just for ARML Local and have no relation to future team selection for the ARML contest.

This may also be a good time to review the ARML math conventions: http://www.arml2.com/arml_2018/public_documents_all_sites/ARML_Conventions_2014.pdf, including sections about formatting your answers.

For any parents who are thinking about coming with us to ARML, this practice can be a good opportunity to come help out with some proctoring and see what the experience of volunteering at ARML is like.

As a reminder, if you can't make it to practice on a particular day, fill out the Practice Absence Form on the website before that practice, with a good reason. In particular, there is no need to email me about missing a practice, and I do not accept practice excuses over email. Unexcused absences may negatively affect placement on elite teams.

I am posting all materials (problems and solutions) used at practices on the practice website. In order to view this material, use username=sfba and password=arml.

If you ever miss any announcements, you can view our email archive.

Let me know if you have any questions. See you on Sunday! :)

Best,
Moor
