Welcome to the home page of the 2009-2010 Mu Alpha Theta Log1 contest. The contest was named by the student delegation 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. If you have any questions on the contest that is not answered by this site, please contact help at: log1@wamath.net.

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 that registered for the 2008-2009 contest are already registered and do not have to register (the email and password used last year are still used). New schools participating this year must register their school. 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) Once a sponsor logs in, the list of students is dynamically updated from the National Office. Students must be registered with the national office before they can participate. There is no need for sponsors to enter names on this site. NOTE: Some students have inadvertently been registered as Associate members and then again as Full members. Sponsors should check their list of students to make sure it is correct. Duplicates can be straightened out with the National Office.

3) For each round, December (Topic 1/2 tests), January-February (Topic 3/4) 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-early April, awards will be sent out. Round 1 and 2 interim results will be posted.The top ten individuals in each division in each region (based upon the sum of their scaled scores on the three tests) will receive a plaque and the next fifteen will receive a certificate. The top ten schools in each region will receive plaques. School awards will be given in each region based upon their overall scores, which will be the sum of the school’s two top student overall scaled scores in each division (a total of six students) and round. In the topic test rounds, the highest scoring student in each topic test and division will contribute to the school score.

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