Technical regulations of the olympiad in mathematics 

1. The olympiad consists of 2 days of competition. Duration of competition 
in each day is 5 hours. Every day the participants are given 4 problems; 
complete solution of each problem is worth 7 points. 

2. Jury prepares the problems in Russian and English. 
Additionally, team leaders in the day of competition may prepare 
translation of the problems into other languages. 
Jury bears full responsibility for correctness of the problems 
in Russian and English. The participants using texts in other languages 
are advised to consult Russian and English versions when necessary. 

3. Jury guarantees answers to the questions of participants during 
the first hour of each day of competitions. After that the answers 
may be ceased (though the jury will make efforts to continue 
answers after that time). 

4. To be admitted to the competition in the junior league a student 
should have completed at most 9 years of secondary school. 
All students of secondary schools are admitted 
to the competition in the senior league. 

5. Syllabus of the olympiad in the senior league coincides with 
that of International Mathematical Olympiad. Syllabus of 
the olympiad in the junior league corresponds to the curriculum 
of the first 9 grades of Russian schools. 

6. Any facts used in a paper and not covered by school syllabus should 
be clearly stated and completely proved. Often-cited statements, like 
Ceva's theorem or Hall's theorem, may be used without proof 
with explicit permission of the jury, provided they are exactly 
stated in the paper. 

7. The paper may be written in any language. The participants should 
bear in mind that for evaluation of papers written in language other than 
Russian or English the jury may require assistance of the team leader.  

8. All participants will have an opportunity of seeing their graded papers 
and appeal if necessary. Before the demonstration of papers the jury 
announces the criteria of grading; these criteria are not subject to appeal. 

9. During the olympiad competitors cannot use calculators, mobile phones, 
computers, or any other electronic means of communication and data 
processing.
