Individual Rounds. The Individual Rounds consist of five rounds, each with two questions. One point is awarded for each question answered correctly for a total of 10 points possible per person and 150 points possible per team.

Team Round. The Team Round consists of ten questions. Each correct answer is awarded five points for a total of 50 possible points per team.

Power Round. The Power Round consists of proof-oriented questions and is worth 50 points.

Relay Round. A correct answer submitted in three minutes will be awarded five points; a correct answer submitted in six minutes will be awarded three points. Thus, there are 25 points possible per team for Relay 1 and 25 points possible per team for Relay 2.
