The school coordinator administers the contest at any convenient time during the contest window, then retains all testing materials until that weekend. On Thursday solutions become accessible to school coordinators via their account. The coordinator then grades the tests and enters scores for each student at the 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 the regular week. Proctors should retain all testing materials and students should refrain from discussing the contest problems until the Sunday following the official testing week. For more detailed information regarding administration of the Mandelbrot Competition, please consult the Instructions form, which may be downloaded from the Forms page.

The school coordinator may give the Team Play at any point during the two weeks listed. After making copies, the coordinator then mails student responses to Greater Testing Concepts. A panel of graders will evaluate their papers on a Saturday morning, generally three full weeks after the contest window. Please note that the Team Play is open only to schools that participate in the Mandelbrot Competition.
