The Ngie Hin Enterprise Company is currently the global representative for Benedict Goh Mathematics Championships - BMC Worldwide. The BMC Game is growing worldwide and expanding its brand internationally. We intend to host the 1st Benedict Goh Malaysia Schools Mathematics Championship 2017 in this coming June and we estimate that there will be more than 1200 schools around Malaysia joining us in this competition. What follows is a summary of the most important responsibilities with regards to the organization of the championship.

Participating Schools

Advertising and promotion of the event;
The participating schools are responsible for promoting the event among the school community. The schools authorities should inform the students and parents about this championship, and the benefits of taking part in this competition. Teachers should also encourage students to participate in this national level mathematics competition. The sharing of the competition information in the official website or Facebook page of schools are welcomed as well.

Fill up the registration form and make payment;
The main teacher in-charge of each participating school should help the students to fill up the competitors registration form and also the school registration form. The school also acts as a media for the competitors to pay their registration fees. The school should make payment before the competition closing date.

Provide a suitable venue for the competition; 
Since the participating schools are required to conduct the competition by themselves, they are responsible for finding a suitable venue for the competition. The suggested venue is at the school hall or in a class, depending on the number of competitors. We would prefer that all competitors being placed at the same space. In addition, the light intensity, noise control, air humidity and the surrounding temperature must be suitable.

Provide competition training class for students (optional); 
As we all know that students learn mathematics in classroom every day, so special training and preparation for the competition is not necessary. However, we are also very happy and glad to hear from you if the school provide extra competition training class for students, in order to rise the overall results. Sample questions and training materials can be downloaded from this website.

Sponsorship for outstanding students (optional);

Arranging for volunteers (teacher-in-charge);
The participating school should arrange for volunteers (teacher-in-charge) to be trained as licensed arbiters of mathematics. The teacher in charge is responsible for safeguarding the contest package and conducting the championship. The arbiter acts as the head of ethics of the game and is responsible for supervising the behavior of the competitors. The ratio of the arbiters to competitors should not be more than 1:30.

Conduct the competition based on the guideline;
Teacher-in-charge must conduct the championship in their school, according to the guideline, which will be published on our website before the competition. Any failure in following our guideline might cause the results of competitors of that participating school not being tabulated into our ranking system.
