Twice each academic year, the Student Mathematics League (SML) is administered at two-year colleges all over the country. Each college submits a team score based on the total of the five best individual performances at that college. After each round, all teams are ranked regionally and nationally, and high-scoring individuals are ranked as well. There is also a $3000 scholarship prize awarded to the national champion.
