The Seventeenth Rockdale Math Competition
The 17th RMC was held on October 29, 2022 for high schools.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools were restricted to registering a maximum of two teams of 4 students. This restriction led to a smaller than normal competition, although bigger than the previous year: 120 Varsity students and 69 JV students, for a total of 189 students from 28 schools. This was only the second of two in-person math competitions in Georgia in Fall semester 2022, and we were all very happy to be back in person!
Once again, we offered an ARML-style competition, with a Power, Team, Relay, and Individual rounds. Each school was invited to bring a four-student teams in each of middle school, junior varsity, or varsity.
As with previous years, we continued the weighting of the Individual Round problems based on how many participants incorrectly answered each question (see the October 2013 page for more details). This file shows the percentage of participants who got each problem incorrect, and thus, these were the weights assigned to each problem.
The competition papers will be included in the second “Problem Book” for the years 2015 to 2025.
Team trophies were awarded to the top 3 teams in junior varsity and varsity per classification. We awarded the highest-scoring students in junior varsity and varsity a Championship Medal. We also awarded the highest scoring student from each school a School Winner Medal. This year, there was a three-way tie for the Varsity Individual Champion, and all three students were crowned champions.
Listed here are all team rankings per level and the top individual winners in each category.
