The Berkeley Math Tournament Group is an association established at the College of California-Berkeley. This organization is led by students and was founded in early 2010. The goal of this organization is to create a holistic and high-quality math competition that engages and challenges participants to excel beyond the limits of the classroom.
This Tournament takes place in spring. It encourages high school students from the Bay Area and elsewhere to celebrate Mathematics with like-minded people and get a taste of higher Mathematics.
Before going on, let us tell you, why should you participate in these tournaments.

Any Middle school student can participate in the Berkeley Math Tournament.
This tournament is team-based wherein a coach leads a team of 6 individuals.
Final team scores are calculated by a linear combination of focus, team, and power results, with their respective weights, noted below:-
The top finishers at BMT will qualify for the USMCA national championship.
Students will take one of four focus rounds during the tournament. The focus round allows students to display their skills in particular mathematical topics. Each test contains 10 short answer questions to be solved in 60 minutes. The focus rounds consist of:
The individual round will be an 80 minute, 20 question test that will test understanding in all the focus topics.
The team round consists of 15 questions with numeric answers to be solved in 40 minutes. Team members may work together on this round, and only one answer sheet will be collected.
The power round is a 60-minute team test containing several multi-part questions focusing on a single topic. The questions emphasize logical rigor and ask for proof of all claims.
Some events will aim to begin an open-ended dialogue on certain areas of abstract or applied mathematics, while others will focus on more inventive skills, like juggling or card counting. Talks and activities information will be released closer to the tournament date.
