Winners from regional competitions and invited teams will compete at the World Finals, May 16-18, 2010, at CA World 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The regional distribution can be found here.

Current Regional Schedule

Regional competitions will be structured in the following way:

• Twelve regions have been identified worldwide
• Each competition will be managed by a regional coordinator who is a faculty member at a local university - not necessarily one of the competing teams
• Prizes and financial support will be provided by a sponsoring company
• No fewer than 5 teams of 3 students each will compete in each regional competition, with no more than 1 team from a single school, and including as many states/countries within a region as possible.
• Each team is expected to have at least one student who is majoring in Information Technology, Information Systems or similar degree.
• Winning universities at regionals may substitute team members for the World Finals (due to graduation, etc.)

A typical one-day regional competition consists of:

• A brief welcoming session, which may include sponsor remarks
• The presentation of the case challenge to the competing teams (or this may be sent to them prior to the competition)
• Team preparation of the case solution
• Team presentations to the judges - usually 30 minutes each, with an additional 15-minute question period
• Deliberation by judges
• Feedback to all teams on their presentation
• Final results and awards ceremony
