WMC FINALS
FOR GOLDEN TICKET INVITEES
This comprises TWELVE rounds across a whole week within a University College residential setting. What else would you expect if you'd like to be crowned the winner of the World Mathematics Championships®?
CONGRATULATIONS Golden Ticket holders - this is where you come to find out about the next
World Mathematics Championships® Finals!
Golden Ticket winners are invited to these finals as individuals, and schools may also make it a staffed trip if they prefer. After accepting the Golden Ticket, the registration form contains a section to enter the names of friends they know are also going and would like to be in Collaboration Teams with.
As spaces are limited and we are required to confirm all bookings many months in advance, all Golden Tickets need to be fully accepted (payment transferred) BY THE END OF THE MONTH OF YOUR REGIONAL QUALIFIER, OR TWO WEEKS LATER, whichever is longer.
You should arrive during the morning of the first day and depart during the morning of the final day, with your own travel and medical insurance and tourist visa for the country. We can provide letters of invitation for visa purposes.
Some rounds will be the same as were enjoyed in qualifying, many will be similar, and there will also be a few rounds that are new!
