Can't wait for the next National Competition?
Take a look at last year's highlights!
Below you can find results from the event, the archived livestream of the Countdown Round, and a list of all national-level students.
Allan Yuan, a 13-year-old eighth grader from Hoover, Alabama, won the Countdown Round by answering this question in 6 seconds: “From a group of 9 students, three separate teams are to be formed—one consisting of 2 students, and one consisting of 4 students. If each student must be on exactly one team, how many distinct sets of three teams are possible?”
The Countdown Round took place at the Renaissance Washington DC Downtown Hotel at 10am ET on Monday, May 9. The top 12 scorers from the Written Competition raced against the clock and each other to determine the 2022 Raytheon Technologies MATHCOUNTS National Champion.
