On behalf of the executive board of the American Regions Mathematics League, I would like to invite mathematics teachers and coaches in China to organize teams for the ARML Local China competition, coordinated by ASDAN China. The primary ARML competition brings together the top mathematics students from around the country and is held in late May or early June every year, and this year we had over 150 teams of 15 students competing at four sites around the United States. In 2008, we decided to introduce ARML Local that could be completed at schools, and encouraged teams to invite other local schools to compete, essentially creating ARML Local contest sites around the country. We now wish to extend that invitation to schools throughout China to compete in ARML Local.

The contest format for ARML Local is similar to our main contest, mixing both team and individual elements. Teams consist of six students, and a school may field as many teams as they like. There is a 15 question Team Round that is worked together by each team for 45 minutes, followed by five pairs of Individual Round questions, with 10 Minutes per pair.
