Registration/Participation: Details
Must registered users participate in all the challenges?
Since school calendars and holidays differ the world over, registered participants
are not expected to address all challenges. A schedule has been
developed, and registered users among themselves (and/or with their subscribed-only partners) can participate in all postings
within a year before having to register again.

What donation is expected for full registration?
Information about the nominal registration fee is forwarded to each person
registering for one of the lists. Please note that the registration form
calls for the name of a faculty sponsor, and a team name. Each team's name
will consist of the sponsor's last name (surname), a color, the school/
group mascot, and city/state/country information: Hodson's Gold Bears/El
Paso, TX can end up working with Nahim's Blue Tigers/Tel Aviv, IL.
What other "perks" are there for registering?
All registered teams will receive a certificate of participation, and a
handsome "MathMagic Internet Participant" decal. In general, registered
users have more privileges than non registered users. Presently (and
certainly not mandatory,) scanned images of the registered sites are being
made available in MathMagic's WWW homepage (http://mathforum.org/mathmagic/) so any net user with a Graphic Web Browser (such as Netscape,IE or Mosaic)
can look at the teams and the schools. Password-protected access to an area where
each school can post their home page (or a link to it) will be available. For low-tech sites, color pictures are sent to MrH and he scans them and places them on the WWW, so no prior knowledge of "Net Surfing" is required. Undoubtedly the greatest incentive is the world-wide posting that the
student's responses receive. As mentioned earlier, beginning with the 1997-98 cycle, REGISTERED teams have also been able to choose NTP's from the "unsubscribed" lists.
