Hello!

My name is Carl Nist-Lund ’15 and I, along with Xinyi Chen ’15, are proud to be this year’s PUMaC co-directors!

New directors (in the plural!)

Hi everyone,

It’s been good to hear lots of comments from students and coaches about how smoothly PUMaC 2011 went for them, and how much they enjoyed it.  The 2011 planning staff put a lot of effort into making last year’s contest the best possible, and we definitely had fun organizing it as well.

Power Round due Saturday morning

Dear teams,

There was a typo in my original post about the deadline for Power Round-only teams.  As stated on the Important Dates page of this website, the Power Round should be emailed or mailed to us by or before 8:00 AM EST (UTC-5) on Saturday, November 19, not 8:00 PM.  Main Competition teams should turn in the Power Round at check-in in the morning.  This is so that teams in both competitions turn in the Power Round at the same time.  I apologize for the misprint.
