Only ARML for me because I'm lazy. I haven't even heard of iTest.
What's special about team competitions that you didn't include the big individual ones in the poll? |

| I am on my highschool math team. We did pretty good last year and went all the way to states, where we lost horrendously. |

thanx Sir Robin for adding in that last option. This is why i'd die in an AP stat's class. I'd make horrible polls.
ya, i do ARML too (go western MA!) but i'm only okay. btw iTest is an awesome team competition. It is sponsored by a company that make iPod accessories and the prize for the top scoring team is the latest generation of iPod. I only got dragged into it by my compsci friends, but it's amazing. The rules are you can only use the internet, but no help from other people.
yeah, i forgot about individual ones. The only ones i know are AMC 10/AMC 12 (to qualify for AIME) and the math olympiad thing. |

I've did AMC 8 for 3 years and got 3rd in my school the first two years. (My twin brothers beet me) and my 8th grade year I won my school. I was on the national list of top people all three years.
I did AMC 10 once, but not in the actual competition and I got all but 1 question right.
I'm surprised you have nothing about MATHCOUNTS. It's a big team and individual competition on the national level. I did it for 2 yrs. and my team won the region both times and I got 7th and 4th regionally and 10th and 13th in the state but I never made it to nationals. (Funny how I do better at state with the harder tests. I actually got a higher score at states)
When my brothers and I went into Junior High my school started a math team and it has done better than our athletics. We swept a Detroit area competion that draws schools in from multiple states for 2 years and we also defeated most Division I schools in a GRCC competion for 3 years in a row.
I'm too old for the competions now it really stinks, I enjoyed doing them because if I did them I didn't have to take the final in math. |

Mathcounts is middle school only, most people here are high school at least. I did pretty well on it a couple years ago. AMC/AIME/USAMO is coming up, we'll see how I do on that this year.
On a side note, me and a friend are doing a team math competition for middle schools in our area called NEMO, we actually held it today. We only had 5 teams show up, we're hoping to get more to come next year. |

somehow, even though i live hundreds of miles north of you, i've heard of NEMO from friends.
As for AMC, i'm very apprehensive because i signed up for AMC 12, but i'm only a sophomore. My friends told me it was really easy but they failed to mention the Calc and Trig I never learned. I'm going to have to cram.

You don't need calculus for the AMC (10 or 12), that should lighten your cram load a bit. As a matter of fact, the AIME (don't know about the USAMO) can be solved with only pre-calculus techniques as well.
I'm glad NEMO is famous. I only wish we had more participation.
