History The New York State Mathematics League held its first competition in 1973, a competition intended for New York state teams. A team from Massachusetts asked to participate in the 1974 NYSML competition, and it took first place. This led to the creation of the Atlantic Regions Mathematics League in 1976, which became the American Regions Mathematics League in 1984. When the Atlantic Regions Mathematics League was founded, the competition was held at a single eastern site that changed from year to year: After 1983, the coordinators decided to keep the competition at Penn State University. ARML expanded to two sites in the late 1980s and to three sites in 1995. In 2008, ARML added a fourth site at the University of Georgia in Athens to better accommodate students in the Southeast, which moved to the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2020. The 2006 competition saw significant expansion of about 25% more participants than ever before. Attendance at the western site, UNLV, nearly doubled. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ARML competition was not held in 2020, and it was only held virtually in 2021.
