Match-Up Schedule
The match-up schedule for the competition will be available here on February 3, 2024.
Team Check-In
Each coach will need to check-in their team in in Hoover Hall between 7:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. on February 3, 2024. Only the coach should enter into the check-in room during this time. Be prepared to list the students that will be competing for each of your teams.
Reminders and Updates
- Coaches from past competitions recommend that teams who have lost in early rounds watch and observe the final rounds, especially when discussing cases your team has prepared. We know this is a big commitment, but if it works for your schedule, we welcome all teams to join for the final rounds after lunch. See the match-up schedule for more information.
- Teams may not have anything on their competition table except writing utensils and a sheet of scrap paper that is blank on both sides. We will provide each team a printed copy of the case set book.
- Any watches that can access the internet cannot be worn (smart watches, Apple watches, etc.)
- Teams cannot substitute members, review notes, or confer with their coach once the match begins.
- You may contact Emily Knuth on her mobile phone at 765-720-5352 if you have problems or questions during the competition.
- Do not share the link to this page or the mobile numbers included here with anyone, including students or team-appointed judge/moderators. This page is designed for use by team coaches only.
