How is a winner determined?
At the end of the Final Round, the firm with the highest Shareholder Value will be crowned the MikesBikes World Champion. Both the winner and runner up will be featured on our website.
The winners will join previous title holders featured on the Wall of Champions. Both first and second place will receive a certificate, and an article on their achievement which we will promote externally (often published on university websites and newsletters). This achievement and the published article will be a great addition to your resume and are accessible by prospective employers.
How will the competition be structured?
The competition will run in two rounds: a Qualification Round and a Final Round.
In the Qualification Round, you will be competing against other students. After the fourth rollover of the Qualifying Round, the Top 10 companies ranked by Shareholder Value across all qualifying firms will move to the Final Round where competitors start a new simulation and complete a final 6 rollovers.
The qualifying participant(s) will be determined by the highest Shareholder Value in the Qualifying Round. Where two or more teams qualify from the same school, only the top team based on Shareholder Value will be admitted to the Final Round.
In the Final Round, the Top 10 teams will be competing against each other in one Multi-Player World.
Note: After each rollover you can identify where your company is ranked by referring to the Competition Scoreboard that will be featured on this page.
