Registration for the 2026 Duke Math Meet is now OPEN! The competition will take place on Saturday, November 7th, 2026, on Duke University's campus.

All coaches must create a new account for this year's competition. Login credentials from previous years will not work.

Please read the important details below, then create an account to register.

DEADLINE: Registration closes on October 25th, 2026. Registration may close earlier if we reach team capacity, so we encourage teams to register as soon as possible. After October 25th, please email us with any registration changes.

COMPLETING REGISTRATION: Most importantly, registration is not finished until proctors have completed their background checks and we have received each student's participation form, as described below. Please also enter shirt sizes under the "T-Shirt Sizes" section so that we can accurately estimate our T-shirt needs. If your school requires new login credentials or a password reset, please email your school or organization name to us. Please include the coach's name, school address, phone, and email.

COST/PAYMENT: There is no registration cost this year, thanks to our generous sponsors. We will still provide breakfast and lunch for students and proctors, as well as T-shirts for students.

TEAMS: Each team is composed of 6 students. Due to capacity constraints, we are limited to allowing 45 teams, so each club may send 2 teams + the number of teams they had in the top 20 last year, with a maximum of 4 teams. Spots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Please email us if you are unsure of the number of teams that you can bring. Due to the pandemic, any school that has done historically well at DMM can also send us a request to expand their team limit.

FULL/PARTIAL TEAMS: Teams with 6 members are full teams, while any team with fewer, including individuals, are partial teams. We will attempt to combine partial teams of compatible sizes to form complete teams, but we request that clubs try their best to create full teams.

PROCTORS: Schools and groups must bring one proctor for every team and partial team they are sending. For example, if a school is bringing one full team of six and one partial team of four, they are required to bring two proctors. As with last year, Duke University requires adults working with minors through Duke-sponsored programs to complete a Duke background check and training prior to the start of the program as stated here: https://forms.hr.duke.edu/minors/. Prospective proctors should be entered into the registration platform by October 25th so their background checks and training have sufficient time to process. After registration, proctors will receive a separate email with a link and instructions. Proctors may be entered before registering your teams. Proctors entered after this date might not be processed by Duke in time, and corresponding teams might not be able to attend if there is insufficient staff to supervise them. If your organization is deciding between multiple potential proctors, we recommend entering all of them by the deadline.

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS: Every participant must get a minors participation agreement signed by their parent or guardian and returned to us. We ask that the coach of each team combine the scanned copies of the form for every participant into a single PDF document and email it to us together. While we can accept physical copies of the form on the day of the contest, we highly recommend the forms be sent to us digitally at least a week prior to the contest. If we do not have the participation agreement on record from a student, they cannot attend. The 2026 participation agreement can be found here: Participation Agreement.

DIETARY NEEDS: Please enter any dietary restrictions or needs of your students in the club notes on the registration portal, or email us directly.

ACCESSIBILITY: If anyone in your organization has accessibility needs, please email us directly and we will work to accommodate it.
