What to expect
The early problems are around AMC 10/12 level. The round gets much harder as it goes, moving through AIME and into olympiad-level ideas.
The proof section starts with approachable AIME-level ideas and builds toward national and international olympiad problems.
These labels describe content, not time.
Advancement
About one in four Round 1 competitors will qualify for the live final. The cutoff depends on participation and scores.
