This competition is hosted by the Texas A&M University-Kingsville Mathematics Department, delivered through the ALEKS program, an artificially intelligent web-based math learning system. After students register for the event, they can use ALEKS to practice and prepare for the competition. Students get periodic assessments called knowledge checks to let them know how they are doing. Winners will be determined by the highest score on a comprehensive assessment administered on date of the contest.

Students who completed Algebra I last school year (AY 22-23) are eligible to participate. Students enrolled in Algebra I this school year (AY 23-24) are also eligible, but will be competing against students who have already completed Algebra I.
