Joining an ARML team

Team selection for the American Regions Mathematics League varies from team to team.

Florida ARML sends two teams to ARML each year. The selection criteria for the Florida ARML team takes into consideration several factors:

  • AMC and AIME performance
  • Past AMC, AIME, and USAMO scores
  • Past ARML performance
  • FAMAT-designated competitions
  • An annual statewide tryout test

The organizers are Jason Wiggins of... [more]
