SMO Junior

[Intermezzo]

Just to clarify, the journey towards national team can start as early as from SMO Junior.


ie. those who do well in SMO Junior can go for the Junior Team training, and from there they work their way up the hierachy:

Junior Team training -> Senior Team training -> National Team
(selection tests are held between each level for promotion into the next)

And to be promoted from senior team into national team, the main criteria is the results from SMO Open, Special Round (as stated in my above post).

hope this helps ~

Thanks, Intermezzo for enlightening me. Is your ds a maths enthusiast? You are very well informed about mathematics competition thingy. All the best to your ds.

Thanks MandyMummy ~ yes ds enjoys math very much

Dunno if he'll ever get into nat team, but to him it's the process that's fun, and that's good enough for us ~
