Welcome to the home page of the 2007-2008 Mu Alpha Theta Log1 contest. The contest was named by the student delagation to nationals a few years and refers to the cost of participating in the contest, namely zero. The Mu Alpha Theta National Office pays the registration for all of the chapters.

This contest will be handled electronically, all tests will be available for download to the registered sponsors and scores will be submitted over the web by the sponsors. The only "snail mail" will be when awards are distributed at the end of the contest. There are three rounds of testing. Here are the steps for chapter to follow:

1. Sponsors will register their school to participate in the contest. Sponsors must register for the 2007-2008 contest even if they particpated in last years contest. An email will be sent to the sponsor when the schools Mu Alpha Theta ID is verified. This may take a couple of days as it is a manual process.

2) In November and during each round of testing, a list of students registered with the National Office will be added to database. Students must be registered with the National Office to be eligible for the Log1 contest. They may register as an associate member (at no cost) if they have not yet met the criteria for full membership in the chapter. This will minimize delays in final awards.

3) For each round, December (Topic tests), January (Ciphering) and March (Individual), the test will be available for download by the sponsor. See "Test Details" for more information on the tests and sample questions. The sponsor will print sufficient copies for their team; administer and score the test. After the round is scored, sponsors will return to the student page to enter scores for that round. About a week after each round, the top scores in each division will be posted.

4) In late March, awards will be sent out. The top 10 individuals in each division and region will be awarded plaques while 11th through 25th will receive certificates. The top 10 schools, whose scores are combinations of their top individuals (see scoring), will also receive plaques.

There is a Question and Answer page as well as a Calendar page which will be updated.
