==Judging==

Ph.D.-level applied mathematicians judge the contest in three phases. In triage, each paper is read through at least two times before being eliminated or passed on to the second round. The triage round of judging eliminates two-thirds or more of the submitted papers. In the second round of judging, papers are read up to an additional 8-10 times each, and the top 11 papers emerge. The top six will go on to the presentation round of judging while theup remainingto five20 remaining papers receive honorable mention team awards. Judging is blind until the presentation round, with teams known only by a unique team ID number. The presentation round is held at the Moody’s corporate headquarters in the World Trade Center on Wall Street where the teams present their papers to a panel of four judges. Following the presentations, judges rank the teams and a formal award ceremony takes place.
