Elementary District Championships
Some states have a much larger number of participants than others, and in order to keep the State Championship to a manageable size, the state is broken into districts. In these states, students must attend a District Championship in order to qualify for the State Championship. For the 2022-2023 school year, the states with District Championships are Arizona, Northern California, Florida, Missouri, and Texas.
Only students or teams who attain a high enough score at one of the qualifying rounds may compete at the District Championship. Students may only sign up for the District Championship for the district where their school is physically located (see below for a list of districts). In order to qualify for the District Championship a student must participate in an elementary qualifying round (either a local contest or the in-school qualifying test) during the school year and do any one of the following:
- Earn at least 50% of the available points on any of the individual tests or the individual total score.
- Score strictly higher than 80% of the other participants in his or her grade at that contest on any of the individual tests or the individual total score.
- Participate on a team that scores either at least 50% of the available points or strictly higher than 80% of the other teams in the school's division at that contest on the team test.
District Championships will be held in March or April and will use the test release number that ends in 27. Click here for the list where District Championship sites will be posted as they are confirmed. Below are the states where we hold District Championships. Click on the links below to see the map of districts for each state. Note that mathleague.org reserves the right to adjust district boundaries between two adjacent districts in the interest of fairness if one district ends up with more than three times as many qualifiers as the other.
Pursuant to the previous sentence, please note that for the 2023 District Championships the following district boundaries have been adjusted in order to equalize the numbers of students in the various districts. The net effect of these changes will be that many more students will qualify for the State Championship. If you have signed up for your District Championship under the original district boundaries, you do not need to change anything prior to the competition; we will realign the districts after the testing is over and before the announcements of results.
