Rules and Procedure – For complete rules and student eligibility, see the Competitor’s and Coaches’ Guide. Students compete individually in the role play competition and as a university team. Points earned in the role play competition add to the Collegiate World Cup of Sales total.
At the end of each round (Wild-Card, Round 2 and Round 3), a document will be released which summarizes the facts that should have been uncovered in that round. This will allow all competitors moving on to the next round to start with the same information.
The role-play competition runs simultaneously with the sales management case competition, so individual competitors may only compete in one or the other.
