Dear SFBA/NorCal ARML team,
We're ready to kick off the 2022 ARML season! This email contains a lot of information about our activities over the next few weeks. Please read through it and let us know if you have any questions!
Registering for ARML
If you have not yet done so, it's time to register for the new ARML season! This ensures that you're on our new mailing list for 2022 (this email has gone out to both our 2021 and 2022 mailing lists). To register, visit https://mathleague.org/armlsfba.php and fill out the information sheet.
In order to reserve a spot on the team, you must complete the information sheet and pay the contest fee ($440). See the above link for details. This year, we need to receive your registration and payment by April 27 (next Wednesday) in order to reserve your spot on the team. For our planning with the compressed timeframe this year, we greatly appreciate if you can submit your information sheet and payment as soon as possible, well in advance of the deadline.
Info Sessions
We will hold two online info sessions over the next week, on Friday (4/22) and Monday (4/25), both from 6-7 PM Pacific. These info sessions are intended for students new to ARML. Each info session will feature a short presentation about ARML, a Q&A session, and a practice team round. To register for the info sessions, please visit the following links:
Friday: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYpfuCrrD0jH9xQRrDqeabQqdYjZvR3kccr
Monday: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvc-uoqz0qGNTUb0BnN1ZPP7IhdRr3xyqn
Experienced students who have participated in ARML in the past will likely not find the info sessions useful and are not expected to attend. However, if you'd like to help us introduce the ARML experience to new students, please reach out to us.
Tryouts
We will hold two online tryouts over the next week, on Friday, 4/22, and Monday, 4/25, both from 7-8 PM (immediately after the info sessions). While everyone who's interested in ARML is able to participate, we plan to select multiple elite teams of top students who will be ranked against the top teams from other regions. While attending a tryout is not required to be selected for an elite team, it is highly encouraged. Even if you aren't interested in elite team selection, we still recommend attending (both) tryouts for extra practice! If you're new to ARML, the tryouts are also an opportunity to get a sense of what ARML questions are like. To register for the tryouts, please visit the following links (same as above):
Friday: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYpfuCrrD0jH9xQRrDqeabQqdYjZvR3kccr
Monday: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIvc-uoqz0qGNTUb0BnN1ZPP7IhdRr3xyqn
ARML Local
We will participate in ARML Local online on Saturday, 4/23, 5-8 PM Pacific. (This will be after BmMT, and students will be able to participate in both events.) This is a competition written by ARML for teams to participate in their local regions, and we will also consider the ARML Local individual round to be an elite team tryout opportunity. Sacramento-area students will have an additional opportunity to participate in ARML Local online on Sunday, 4/24, and should contact sacramento.math@gmail.com for more information.
ARML Local is free for students who participate with our team, and all of you are encouraged to participate, even if you are not able to join the team this year. In order to help us plan, if you're planning to participate (non-binding / no obligation required), please fill out this form, which will also give you access to the Zoom link: https://mit.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYlc-CqqDgsGt3V6vJRJGthiystWTIaA9aW.
Sacramento
If you live in the Sacramento area, there are already weekly in-person practices in your region at UC Davis. Please contact sacramento.math@gmail.com for more information about those practices.
How to help
ARML is more fun with friends. Reach out to your friends, classmates, math team members, etc., and recruit them to join the team with you!
For any parents, coaches, proctors, or graduated alums on this email list: We're looking for proctors for ARML Local! If you're able to proctor, please reach out to us at arml-info@lists.berkeley.edu.
We are looking for practice locations for our practices in mid-May. Can your school or community organization host a practice? Do you have any leads? Please reach out to us at arml-info@lists.berkeley.edu.
