These little Non-UIL/TMSCA competition categories are so dishearteningly barren. I would try starting a topic in each of them, but seeing as I've never taken the AMC or the AIME, and I've never heard of Trig*Star or JETS, I don't think that's my place.
I did participate in MathCounts three years ago, though. Anybody else? I remember at the Chapter contest, my team (Lubbock O.L. Slaton) was thoroughly slaughtered by Lubbock Hutchinson, but I still went to State because of the rule that the top individuals not on the winning team progress as well as the winning team. Didn't make too much difference--I did about as badly as humanly possible at State.
Also, I remember doing the "Countdown" (head-to-head [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] contest) round at the Chapter contest and losing on the first round due to choking badly under the pressure of the contest format...spelling bee all over again, haha.
