Any false or deceptive entries or acts associated with a class will result in points being deducted from the total class score. Any use of robotic, automatic, programmed, or similar methods of entry by a class or a student may disqualify that class from the Masters League Competition or render the games played ineligible for inclusion in the score for that class.

3. Participation:Teachers can participate (“Participation”) by signing up their class to the Masters League Competition and having their students in Grades 1-8 play any games on 99math. All problem-solving activities contribute to the score:
- Group Game- Individual Practice- Assignments- Home Games (including Arena)
Play-based activities, like playing in the Pet Park or building islands, do not contribute to the score. Scores are normalized to ensure fairness, meaning each class's score accounts for its size and participation rate. Teachers can follow their class progress in the Monthly Competition Periods by viewing the Leaderboards on the state, league or school level.
- The class leaderboard ranks classes based on total points earned, displaying the class name (set by the teacher), school name, state, and the effort-based scores.- The school leaderboard ranks top 100 schools based on total points earned, displaying the school name, state, number of classes registered, and the effort-based scores.- The student leaderboard highlights top 6 students based on effort, and 6 most improved students, showing their avatar, class name, state, grade, and effort-based score. No personally identifiable student information is displayed.- The League leaderboard ranks classes within different competition tiers (Titan, Elite, Grand, Premier, Power, Rising, and Starters) based on total accumulated effort points. They display the class name, grade, school name, state, and total score across all monthly competition periods.

4. How to Enter:Teachers can enter their classes into the Masters League Competition by signing up any class they have created on the platform through the Masters League Competition registration form. A teacher can create a new class under the "Classes" section in the menu.

5. Winner Selection and Notification:99math may disqualify any entry that does not comply with these Official Rules.
