​​BBB is a two-tiered tournament, in which senior mentors judge the preliminary rounds and invited business professionals, including a guest from the sponsor company, to judge the final round. To ensure fairness, mentors will not be able to judge their mentee’s teams. 

​

Presentations will be judged holistically. This means that judges will not be giving a grade or calculating points based on weighted criteria. Rather, judges will be relying on a set of general criteria to guide their overall evaluations of the presentations (please find descriptions of our general criteria below). For instance, some presentations may be selected for their authentic and innovative proposals while others may be selected for strong reasoning, applicability, and feasibility. However, from our experience, successful presentations typically find a balance of these various criteria while also demonstrating strong communication skills.

​

A PowerPoint ​presentation in English (up to 10 minutes) followed by a brief Q&A session will be judged. There are no requirements on format, number of slides, and other specifics regarding the presentation (except for the time limit as mentioned above). For compatibility purposes, it is strongly recommended that participants use Windows (not Mac) when compiling the final presentation. We also recommend submitting a  .pdf file over other formats. W-KUBS will not be responsible for any formatting errors or technical difficulties arising from different file types.
