This parent coaches being the gatekeepers happens A LOT in Elementary School, exp…Science Olympiad, Math Counts, FLL, CompSci competitions.
Then when the students go to Middle School and try out with the Teacher Coaches…those preferred kids get to check “experience” next to the forms and have a leg up on other kids.

Anyone can sign up for AMC8 through FCAG or through any school or program offering the test.  Anyone can sign up for CML as a homeschooler, Math Kangaroo, or mathleague.  Anyone can get a free AoPS account and use alcumus, Mathcounts trainer app, FTW, or any of the forums there.  If Mathcounts and Science Olympiad are handled properly, selection should be competitive and based on performance on a test.  I'm not saying that gatekeeping isn't happening, but a motivated family should be able to work around it.  [/quote]

You’re presuming reliable internet access and the technology to be able to run those apps or programs. That’s not a given for many of these families.[/quote]
