Each school sent a team of four students in each of five test categories: Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, PreCalculus, and Calculus. A total of 120 students participated.

Carroll's representation at the contest included students from grades 8-12.

There were two parts to the competition an individual test lasting 60 minutes and a 45 minute team test where all four team members worked together.

Three types of awards were presented:

Individual ribbons were given in each test category for performance on the individual test.
