This regional team (up to three students) competition consists of ten problems (10 points each)created by professors from other schools in the region. The contest is held on campus and we receive the results about a week later.  The contest is intended to reach a somewhat wider pool of students than the Putnam.  Past problems and solutions are available on the website.
