The school coordinator may administer the contest at any convenient time during the week indicated. The coordinator then grades the tests and submits scores for each student at this web site. If a school has a conflict with one of the testing weeks, we ask coordinators to reschedule the contest for the week immediately before (preferably) the regular week. Proctors should retain all testing materials and students should refrain from discussing the contest problems until Monday following the end of the official testing week.

The school coordinator may give the Team Play at any point during the two weeks listed. The coordinator then mails student responses to Greater Testing Concepts. A panel of graders will evaluate their papers on a Saturday morning, generally two full weeks after the contest window. Late submissions will be evaluated at a special grading session, typically two weekends after the regular grading session, at which point all standings will be brought up to date. Please note that the Team Play is open only to schools that participate in the Mandelbrot Competition.
