Choosing your event
Role play or prepared: which fits you?
Think on the fly
Role play events
You're handed a real-world business scenario and performance indicators, then given prep time (10 minutes solo, 30 for a team of two) before presenting your solution live to a judge. The exam that comes with it depends on your event cluster.
Pick this if you'd rather improvise under pressure than grind on a project for months.
Build it before you show it
Prepared events
You research, develop, and refine a solution long before competition day. This is a written business plan and, for some events, a pitch deck. Written and pitch components are scored as part of your total, on top of your live presentation to a judge. You're able to compete solo or with up to two teammates.

Start early in the year, these take real time to get right.
Pick this if you'd rather polish a project over months than perform cold.
