二、2023年美赛变化
在推特上关注@COMAPMath或在微博上关注COMAPCHINAOFFICIAL，以获取最新信息。
注册流程已简化，分为两部分：顾问注册和团队注册。
MCM/ICM竞赛现在有25页的限制。25 页的限制适用于整个提交，包括摘要表、解决方案、参考列表、目录、注释、附录、代码和任何问题特定要求。
由于 Covid-19 病毒，鼓励团队使用电子通信进行虚拟会议。但是，您的团队成员只能与自己团队的成员进行交流。规则仍然是，团队不得使用除自己的团队成员以外的任何人来讨论或获取处理和解决问题的想法。
Follow @COMAPMath on Twitter or COMAPCHINAOFFICIAL on Weibo for the most up to date information.
Registration process has been streamlined and split into 2 parts: Advisor Registration and Team Registration.
The MCM/ICM Contest now have a 25 page limit. The 25 page limit applies to the entire submission including the Summary Sheet, Solution, Reference List, Table of Contents, Notes, Appendices, Code and any problem specific requirements.
Due to the Covid-19 virus teams are encouraged to meet virtually using electronic communications. BUT, your team members may only communicate with members of their own team. The rule remains that teams may not use any persons, other than their own team members, to discuss or obtain ideas for working on and solving their problem.
三、赛题基本情况
美赛目前分为两种类型，MCM（Mathematical Contest In Modeling）和ICM（Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling)，两种类型竞赛采用统一标准进行，竞赛题目出来之后，参赛队伍通过美赛官网进行选题，一共分为下面6种题型。
MCM
A 连续型
B 离散型
C 大数据
ICM
D 运筹学/图与网络
E 环境可持续
F 政策
题目分类大致如此，但是近年来题目也开始发生微小变化，例如E题，之前都是环境相关的题目，今年开始与 可持续性联系尤为紧密。
MCM:全称The Mathematical Contest in Modeling，即数学建模竞赛，偏自然、理工科。对于参赛者的数学模型素养以及建模能力要求较高，
ICM:全称Interdisciplinary Contest In Modeling，一般涉及的问题较宏观和复杂。对于参赛者把握问题主线、权衡宏观与微观整体与细节的能力要求较高。
四、获奖说明

Honorable Mention H奖即二等奖 对标国赛的省奖
Meritorious M奖即一等奖 对标国赛的国奖
Finalist F奖特等奖 对标国赛的优秀国一
Outstanding Winner O奖 数模比赛的巅峰、最高荣誉，每年只有四十支左右的队伍获得 对标国赛的高教社杯奖
Disqualified - The team's report was found to be in violation of the contest rules.
Disqualified – P lagiarism: The solution paper had undocumented sources, verbatim text, or information lifted from the Internet, and/or was very similar to other papers submitted as determined by judges and/or our pairwise comparison software. All information, ideas, data, algorithms, etc. from outside sources used by team members must have the original source documented and properly referenced. Our pairwise comparison software identifies papers and/or parts of papers as similar to, or exactly the same as, other papers submitted.
Disqualified – W eb: COMAP identified the solution paper, or portions of the solution paper as shared or posted, or a team member (or members) were found to have received assistance through interactive web sites or electronic media. Posting or sharing all, or any part of the problem statement, your solution, or partial solution anywhere during the contest weekend is strictly prohibited. Obtaining all, or any part, of anyone else's solution is also prohibited. Contest rules prohibit seeking assistance outside of team members or obtaining help from human sources–in person or via any medium. COMAP continually monitors the Internet during the contest period.
Unsuccessful Participant - The team's report did not adequately respond to the requirements of the contest problem or a team (or team member) was found to have visited Internet sites discussing the contest problem during the contest period.
Unsuccessful Participant – W eb: A team member (or members) visited websites or social media where contest problems were being openly discussed. Contest rules prohibit seeking assistance outside of team members or obtaining help from human sources–in person or via any medium. COMAP is continually monitoring the Internet during the contest period to include websites and social media where contest solutions are being openly discussed.
Unsuccessful Participant – I ncomplete: The solution paper was found to be significantly incomplete and did not show any serious effort in adequately responding to the contest problem or its requirements.
Successful Participant - The team made a concerted effort to respond to the contest problem and submit a solution report. The report, however, had incomplete responses to all or some requirements, and/or showed some deficiencies or weakness in the modeling processes, analysis, conclusions, and/or communication.
Honorable Mention - The team's solution report indicated an above average effort in addressing all problem requirements, and contained elements that were judged to show sound and supported processes in modeling and problem solving, analysis, conclusions, and communication of results.
Meritorious - The team's solution report was excellent in many aspects of modeling and problem solving, analysis, conclusions, and communication. The report addressed all requirements in a clear, well-supported, well-organized, and well-presented manner.
Finalist - The designation Finalist recognizes teams whose solution reports are exemplary and therefore reached the final round of judging. These papers present complete and logical analysis in an organized and clear presentation above and beyond simply addressing the requirements. These papers are easy to read, easy to follow, logical, and comprehensive. Finalist papers are among the best of all team submissions.
Outstanding Winner - The designation Outstanding recognizes teams whose solution reports are determined, in the final round of judging, to be the "best of the best." These teams' reports are at the highest level relative to the contest submissions in terms of exemplary student work in modeling and problem solving, analysis, and communication. COMAP may publish and use all or part of these submissions as examples of outstanding student work.
