• 4 Online Contests: The regular season consists of four online rounds covering unique topics like Number Systems, Boolean Algebra, and Graph Theory.

• Test Format: Each round features a 30-minute, 6-question multiple-choice test. (Older students in Junior division will also have a programming task in Python, C++, or Java).

• Flexible Team Scoring: Sinnott PTA will organize and register the ACSL teams from Grades 3 - 6 (up to 6 or 10 members per team). Team scores are calculated using only the top 3 or 5 individual scores per round, so different students can contribute each time.

• Awards & Finals: Top teams and individuals in each state or country earn certificates based on cumulative scores. Exceptional students qualify to compete individually for the international ACSL Finals at end of the regular season.

Regular sign up is over and we have registered 5 Sinnott ACSL teams. We have a few spots left if you are interested in participating in one of these teams.

• How to Register: Sign up via the Sinnott PTA Membership Toolkit website. (If you don't have an account, create a free account and add your family info to access the sign-up form)
