According to the Regulations students of the first age group can participate only in the third round of the tournament. Due to insistent requests of colleagues from Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Brazil and Bulgaria, however, 82 first graders participated in the contest and solved 10 problems for 60 minutes.

Medals for the winners and certificates for all participants were sent by mail.

Your photos from the award ceremony are welcome. If students and their parents do not object, we will post pictures on the website.

Those who could not participate in the first round, still have a chance to compete in the final round for the Tournament Cup - they can participate in the next two rounds - Winter (from 24 January to 1 February 2015) and Spring (from 21 to 29 March 2014). An invitation to participate in the final round will be sent to students with the highest sum of points obtained in two of the three remote contests.

Thank you for your interest!

Thank you for your cooperation!

Congratulations to the winners!

We started preparing for the second round of the tournament.
