Your school’s MATHCOUNTS team (or you as an individual) has advanced to the state finals to be held at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute according to the above schedule. Attendance at the state competition is mandatory unless prior arrangements have been made (such as Hebrew Schools). A team consists of 4 members, plus 1 alternate in the event that one team member cannot participate. PLEASE NOTE: THE TEAM MEMBERS YOU REGISTER WITH ARE THE TEAM MEMBERS YOU MUST BRING TO THE STATE COMPETITION. NO SUBSTITUTIONS WILL BE ALLOWED. STUDENTS NOT REGISTERED WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE. Due to limited space in the competition room and time for preparation for any additional individuals, we must adhere to this limit. (The SCHOOL HANDBOOK makes no provision for alternates.) Included is a map showing how to reach RPI, parking, and the competition location. The written portion of the competition will be held in The Commons, and the countdown will be held across the street in Darrin Communications Center room 308. Although space is limited in The Commons, there is ample room in room 308 for supporters. Morning refreshments and a hero sandwich lunch will be available for participants and friends (vegetarian available). We are asking a voluntary donation of $5 per person to help cover the cost of these items. Again, RPI is offering a $1,000 scholarship to the top male and top female at the state competition. The top four individuals will comprise New York’s team to the national competition in Disney World, Orlando, FL. on May 6-9, 2010. The coach from the top team will serve as the coach for the state team. Expenses for all participants (not parents) in the national competition are covered by the MATHCOUNTS Foundation. We look forward to your team’s participation. Good luck!
