A special thanks to Mrs. Aundrea Kelley for taking these and many more wonderful pictures during the day.  I think they really capture a typical math team tournament.  Enjoy a few of them below:

Registration - a crucial part of the process.  A special thanks to Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Evans, Claire, Laura and all math teamers that helped them make it run smoothly.  Also, thanks to Mr. Huser and Mr. Shadix for help with traffic.  We appreciate our 90 + volunteers.

East math teamers working ciphering problems.  Great job ciphering for your first tournament!

The CMS cafeteria was buzzing with activity while students enjoyed refreshments before switching over to testing or ciphering.  Thanks to all the volunteers in the cafeteria and teacher workroom.  We appreciate Pepsi for donating our drinks this year and to Aundrea and David Kelley for providing the chips.
