Yes! BrUMO accepts teams of size 4-6. There will be one individual round and three team rounds.

If most of your students have participated in contests such as AMC 10/12, AIME, or HMMT, then you should choose Division A.
If most of your students have minimal high school math contest experience, then we recommend choosing Division B.
Email us at brumo@brown.edu if you are unsure.
No! We will not consider which division you apply for. However, we may choose to change your division as we see fit.
You may register as many teams of 4-6 as you wish, and they may be in different divisions. However, we cannot guarantee that all of your teams will be accepted due to capacity constraints.
Yes! We plan to run an online contest a week after the in-person contest. It will have the same problems as the in-person contest, but the results will not be published on our website.

This year, we plan to create two divisions for our contest. The A division will be of similar difficulty to last year’s contest; the B division will be significantly easier than last year’s contest and is intended for students who have minimal contest math experience.
Sample questions for Division A can be found in the archive. Sample questions for the B division can be found here.
No! On the individual round, teams of 4-6 will be scored by the average of their individual scores.
However, note that the average for the individual round is taken over 4 or more members, so teams of size less than 4 will have 0’s in place of missing members.
Division B will feature contest-style math questions that use school math concepts up to Algebra 2 and Geometry. In particular, no knowledge of Precalculus will be expected.

BrUMO does not charge for registration or participation! However, teams are responsible for their own transportation and accommodation costs.
Teams that are coming from far away will likely be staying at a hotel near Brown. Here is a list of hotels to consider!
For teams that are coming from close by (e.g. Massachusetts), they could just travel on the day of the competition.
