Natasha, I love your description.  Hope you don't mind, but I'm re-posting it here:

i've just visited the site for world's maths day, and the format for playing looks exactly like the format for "playing live" for the american math challenge, due to watching a video that had many screen-shots of lasts year's game. Also though weird thing is that only the first 500 games you play will count for the points.... the rest of the games you play afterward count on some mathometer thing, and each class is only 45 students, the top 20 students i think in each class will only count on the class score to make it fair. So wish our team luck!

That is a great explanation.  I have already entered the information for all of my classes, Mrs. White's math classes, the Geometry class, and Mrs. Creek's 4th period.  I will be entering the rest of the school next week.  I will give our classes their log in information next week, so everyone can start practicing.

I have even more exciting news.  Because of our successes through the MATHCOUNTS program and the American Math Challenge, I was contacted by the World Maths Day team and asked to nominate a student as Worlds Math Day Ambassador for the U.S.A. as some of you already know.  If you look at the site, you will see the 2 Ambassadors for the U.S.A. last year as well as the other countries Ambassadors.  Sixth period today I received his acceptance package.  With his media (meaning the press) preparation package, his new iPOD Touch and iTunes gift card arrived.  I am very excited for him.

We are going to have great fun with the World Maths Day event.
