    •  All students do in oral is present 1-2 "roleplay" cases for 10-15 minutes at the competition, but they only receive their “roleplay” case 15-30 minutes before they present.

    • Students only know the range of topics that will be given to them, not the specific "roleplay" case they will receive at the competition.

    • The judge will be marking students on their speaking skills and 4-7 Performance Indicators stated on the case, for example, explaining the core of effective verbal communication, explaining supply and demand, etc.

    • Additionally, each student will also write a 100-question multiple-choice exam if they choose to compete in oral events. This is equally important with the case!

    • Written is a big category that allows students to pre-prepare for their event as they know their exact topic beforehand.

    • Some written events require a multiple choice exam, some don’t.

    • As the name suggests, all students need to do in this category is write a 100-question multiple-choice exam.

    • Students are given the range of topics that might be tested beforehand.

  • These events cover financial literacy, business ethics, computer science, and public speaking, helping middle schoolers gain experience in areas critical to future business success.

  • Similar to DECA, there are a lot of events, but they can be categorized into oral, written and pure exam events.

  • Which category an event falls into is not explicitly stated.
