FAMAT

FAMAT (Florida Association of Mu Alpha Thetas) is a state organization that organizes several competitions for students in Florida schools. At each competition, each student takes a 30-question, 1 hour exam with a maximum score of 120 points. There is a penalty for guessing (minus 1 point for each incorrect answer). The top 4 students in each division participate in a team round where every question earns 4-16 points depending on the minute the question is answered in. A question answered in the first minute receives a score of 16 points, 2nd minutes 12 points, etc. The overall team score is the sum of the score on the team round plus each students' individual score.
