Teams should use a pre-issued Powerpoint template for their presentations. Judges will select the top team to advance to the final round from each of the three presentation rooms.
- The three finalists will proceed to the final round, where they make a ten-minute presentation on any stock of their choice, followed by five minutes of Q&A. First and second place winners are announced.
