What are the details I need to know about participating in the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) tournament?

• About: The AIME is a follow-up to the AMC 10/12, designed to further challenge top scorers with a 15-question, 3-hour exam.
• Registration Details: By invitation only, based on performance in the AMC 10/12.
