Eighteen elementary schools participated, with a total of 35 teams and 241 mathletes in attendance.
The competition consisted of an individual challenge and a team challenge. During the individual challenge, each team member took a test consisting of multiple-choice questions. During the team challenge, team members collaborated to answer four multiple-step mathematics problems.
