IV. Contest Rules
The 2021 MCM/ICM contest period runs between 5:00 p.m. EST Thursday, February 4, 2021 and 8:00 p.m. EST on Monday, February 8, 2021.
Each team may consist of a maximum of three undergraduate (or below) students enrolled full- or part-time at the same school/institution at the time of the contest. Teams may consist of 1, 2, or 3 students and each student may only participate on one team.
Each team must have an advisor who is a staff member, a faculty member, or a student at the team members’ institution. Advisors can serve more than one team. Advisors must register teams prior to 3p.m. EST on Thursday, February 4, 2021.
Teams must obtain and use the Control Number and password assigned to them at registration to participate in MCM/ICM.
Not later than the opening of the contest window, advisors must assign team members to a particular team, and cannot add or change student assignments for the duration of the contest. Teams may, however, remove a team member, if he or she decides not to participate.
Once the contest window opens (5:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 4, 2021), team membership must be set and teams may not use any persons, other than their own team members, to discuss or obtain ideas for working on and solving their problem. Teams may use any "inanimate" resource they find on their own such as: web pages, books, articles, research reports, databases, etc. Teams may not seek help in obtaining answers, ideas, or information, or in locating appropriate resources, from any persons outside of their team to include their advisor, other teachers, other students, and/or experts or professionals in a field relevant to the problem. This restriction includes personal or telephonic contact, as well as use of electronic social media such as, but not limited to: emails, texting, chat rooms, question-answer systems, interactive blogs, Twitter, Weibo, online help or support sites, etc. Additionally, posting or sharing any part or all of the problem statement, your team’s solution process, or any partial or complete work in any form or medium during the contest is strictly prohibited. COMAP will disqualify or deem unsuccessful any team that violates this rule. The relevant issue is one of intent: each team of students is expected to develop all of its substantive analysis and solution without the help of others.
Teams must document any outside sources of information by using footnotes, endnotes, or in-line documentation, and include appropriate citations in a reference list or Bibliography of these sources.
Teams choose to work on one problem (MCM: A, B, or C or ICM: D, E, or F) and submit one solution for the problem of their choice.
The names of the students, advisor, and/or institution must not appear on any page of the solution. The solution must not contain any identifying information other than the team Control Number.
Papers must be submitted as an Adobe PDF electronic file, and typed in English, with a readable font of at least 12-point type. Papers must be within the page limit specified in the problem statement.
Upon closing of the contest window at 8:00 p.m. EST Monday, February 8, 2021, advisors must ensure each team makes no further changes to their solution paper. Advisors must then ensure all solution documents are properly prepared and sent via email to COMAP for judging no later than 9:00 p.m. EST Monday, February 8, 2021.
COMAP follows all accommodations relative to learning conditions for individual students used as part of the local school/institution program in an affected student's daily learning. If specialized staff is required, the school bears the responsibility for providing any specialized assistan as required by law. If such accommodations are required for a student participating, the school should detail them and the extent to which the were utilized as part of the MCM/ICM activities.
COMAP reserves the right to disqualify or reduce the award level of teams found to have violated the contest rules.
IV.竞赛规则
每一个参赛队最多可有三名本科生（或以下）在比赛时就读于同一学校或学院的全职或兼职学生。小组可由1、2或3名学生组成，每个学生只能参加一个团队。
团队必须获得并使用注册时分配给他们的控制号码和密码才能参加MCM/ICM。
指导老师必须在不迟于比赛开始之前，将队员分配给特定的队伍，并且不能在比赛期间添加或更改学生的信息。但是，如果团队成员决定不参加，则可以将其删除。
团队选择解决一个问题（MCM:A、B、C或ICM:D、E或F），并为他们选择的问题提交一个论文。
学生、指导老师和/或学校机构的名称不得出现在论文的任何页面上。论文不能包含除团队控制号以外的任何标识信息。
论文必须以Adobe PDF电子文件的形式提交，并以英文打字，字体至少为12点可读。论文必须在问题陈述中指定的页数限制内。
在受影响学生的日常学习中，COMAP遵循作为当地学校/机构，计划一部分的个别学生学习条件相关的所有住宿。如果需要专业人员，学校有责任提供法律规定的专业帮助。如果学生需要此类住宿，学校应详细说明这些住宿，以及这些住宿在多大程度上被用作MCM/ICM活动的一部分。
对于违反竞赛规则的参赛队伍，COMAP保留取消参赛资格或降低获奖等级的权利。
V. Contest Registration
The registration fee for MCM/ICM is $100 per team. Please register only the teams that will take part in the contest. Registration fees are non-refundable.

During the Contest - Choosing and Solving the Problem
The contest problems become available for teams to view at precisely 5:00 p.m. EST on Thursday February 4, 2021 on the contest web site:
Each registered team may choose any one of the six problem choices and should submit a solution to only one problem.• MCM problems are Problem A, Problem B or Problem C.• ICM problems are Problem D, Problem E or Problem F.
Teams may use any inanimate source of data, materials, computers, software, references, websites, books, etc. Teams should reference all sources used using footnotes, endnotes, or in-line documentation, and include an associated reference list citing all sources.
Teams may not seek help from any person outside of team members as delineated in the Contest Rules (specifically Rule #6).
Teams should keep in mind the following guidelines when solving the problem and developing their solution.a. Summary Sheet: The summary is an essential part of your MCM/ICM paper and should appear as the first page of your solution report. The judges place considerable weight on the summary, and winning papers are often distinguished from other papers based on the quality of the summary. Click here to download the Microsoft Word Summary Sheet.• To write a good summary, imagine that a reader will choose whether to read the body of the paper based on your summary: Your concise presentation in the summary should inspire a reader to learn about the details of your work.• You should write the summary last, as it should clearly describe your approach to the problem and, most prominently, your most important conclusions. Ensure you plan time after solving your problem to write a comprehensive and articulate summary.• Summaries that are mere restatements of the contest problem, or are a cut-and-paste boilerplate from the Introduction are generally considered to be weak.b. Overall: The team’s solution should be articulate, concise, and organized in order to allow the reader to easily follow the solution process and conclusions. Key statements should present major ideas and results.• A Table of Contents assists the reader in previewing the organization of your report.• Present a clarification or restatement of the problem as appropriate.• Present a clear exposition of all variables and hypotheses.• State and justify reasonable assumptions that bear on the problem.• Present an analysis of the problem, motivating or justifying the model being used.• Summarize derivations, computations, or illustrative examples in the main body of the solution, and leave lengthy derivations and/or calculations and data in appropriate appendices.• Include a design of the model. Discuss how the model could be tested, to include error analysis, sensitivity, and/or stability.•Discuss any apparent strengths or weaknesses to your model or approach.• Provide a conclusion and report results explicitly.• Document resources and references.

在比赛中-选择和解决问题
如果无法访问任何站点，则可能是本地网络连接有问题。请与本地网络服务提供商联系以解决此问题。
每个注册团队可以选择六个问题中的任何一个，并且只应提交一个问题的论文。
•MCM问题是问题A、问题B或问题C。
•ICM问题是问题D、问题E或问题F。
团队可使用任何无生命的数据、材料、计算机、软件、参考资料、网站、书籍等来源。团队应使用脚注、尾注或联机文档引用使用的所有来源，并包括引用所有来源的相关参考列表。
参赛队不得向竞赛规则（特别是规则6）所述参赛队成员以外的任何人寻求帮助。
团队在解决问题和制定论文时应牢记以下准则。
a、 摘要表：摘要是MCM/ICM文件的重要组成部分，应显示为论文报告的第一页。评委们对总结很重视，根据总结的质量，获奖论文往往与其他论文有所区别。单击此处下载Microsoft Word摘要工作表。
•要写一篇好的摘要，想象一下读者会根据你的摘要来选择是否阅读论文正文：你在摘要中的简洁陈述应该会激励读者了解你工作的细节。
•你应该把总结写在最后，因为它应该清楚地描述你解决问题的方法，最重要的是，你最重要的结论。确保你在解决问题后计划好时间，写一个全面而清晰的总结。
•仅仅是对竞赛问题的重述，或是复制粘贴模板的摘要通常被认为是薄弱的。
b、 总的来说：团队的论文应该清晰、简洁和有组织，以便读者能够轻松地遵循论文过程和结论。关键发言应提出主要意见和结果。
•目录有助于读者预览报告的组织结构。
•酌情对问题作出澄清或重述。
•明确阐述所有变量和假设。
•陈述并证明与问题有关的合理假设。
•对问题进行分析，激励或证明所用模型的合理性。
•总结论文主体中的推导、计算或说明性示例，并在适当的附录中留下冗长的推导和/或计算和数据。
•包括模型设计。讨论如何测试模型，包括误差分析、灵敏度和/或稳定性。
•讨论你的模型或方法的任何明显的优点或缺点。
•提供结论并明确报告结果。
•文件资源和参考文献。

During the Contest – Preparing a Solution Document
MCM/ICM solutions are judged as varying degrees of successfully completing the contest (from Successful Participant up to Outstanding). There is no passing or cut-off score, and therefore, partial solutions are acceptable and teams are encouraged to complete as much of the problem as they are able to do. MCM/ICM judges are primarily interested in the team’s thought processes, analysis of the problem, modeling approaches, and mathematical methods.
Teams must submit their entire solution in one Adobe PDF electronic file, consisting of written text, figures, charts, and supporting materials. Papers must be typed in English, with a readable font of at least 12-point type. Do not send additional “non solution” files such as data or computer programs.
Each page of the solution must contain the team control number and the page number at the top of the page. Use a page header on each page - for example: Team # 214321, Page 6 of 13.
Your solution report should start with the Summary Sheet followed by the team’s solution. Ensure your solution meets the page limit requirements as stated in the problem. A Table of Contents is encouraged and does not count toward the page limit. Reference list (or Bibliography), notes pages, and any appendices do not count in the page limit and should be included after the solution pages.
Names of the students, advisor, and/or institution must not appear on any page of the solution. The solution file must not contain any identifying information other than the team Control Number.
STOP making any changes to the solution at 8:00pm EST on Monday, February 8, 2021.
比赛期间-准备论文文档
MCM/ICM论文被视为不同程度的成功完成竞赛（从成功参与者到特等奖）。没有通过或及格分数，因此，部分论文是可以接受的，鼓励团队尽可能多地完成问题。MCM/ICM评委主要对团队的思维过程、问题分析、建模方法和数学方法感兴趣。
团队必须在一个Adobe PDF电子文件中提交他们的整个论文，该文件由书面文本、图表和支持材料组成。论文必须用英文打字，字体至少为12号。不要发送其他“非论文”文件，如数据或计算机程序。
论文的每一页都必须包含团队控制号和页面顶部的页码。在每页上使用页眉-例如：Team # 214321, Page 6 of 13。
你的论文报告应该从摘要页开始，然后是团队的论文。确保您的论文满足问题中所述的页面限制要求。鼓励使用目录，不计入页数限制。参考列表（或参考书目）、注释页和任何附录不在页数限制内，应包含在论文页之后。
学生、指导老师和/或机构的名称不得出现在论文的任何页面上。论文不能包含除团队控制号以外的任何标识信息。

ICM Awards (Problem D, E and F)
The Leonhard Euler Award is presented to a team selected by the head judge of the ICM's Problem D. The criteria are: 1) a paper in the Meritorious/Finalist/Outstanding rating; 2) contains especially creative and innovative modeling; and 3) shows good understanding of interdisciplinary science. The award honors the name of a 18th-century Swiss applied mathematician, who was known for the breadth of his research applications, volume of written work, excellent teaching, and interdisciplinarity.
The Rachel Carson Award honors an American conservationist whose book "Silent Spring" initiated the global environmental movement and whose work spanned many disciplines concerned with the local and global environments. This award is presented to a team selected by the Head Judge of ICM Problem E for excellence in using scientific theory and data in its modeling.
Vilfredo Pareto was an Italian scholar, modeler and problem solver, who at various times was an engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, mathematician, and philosopher. He lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The ICM Pareto Award for outstanding modeling in the Policy Modeling problem (ICM Problem F) honors the work and legacy of this famous social science problem solver. In particular for this award, the head judge seeks to highlight a paper that best models the more dynamic and challenging contextual human elements that make simplification or refinement of policy models so difficult.
