Competition structure 📊
Setup phase duration: 2 days
Main phase duration: 14 days after the setup phase
Primary metric: Appreciation of the portfolio value in US$ equivalent over the duration of the main phase
Additional metrics: Risk and Drawdown
Special limitations: Will be communicated during the setup phase
Process:
- Contestants register via university issued email id.
- Optional: in some cases MC² Finance may require an additional screening process to endorse only motivated participants, or participants with certain skills
- Dean’s office informs MC² Finance on the number of registered participants and provides a list of email addresses of all approved contestants
- MC² Finance sends out unique one-time codes that allow contestants to register for the competition and fund their smart wallet.
- Students have 2 days (48 hours) to register, fund and create their initial set up portfolios.
- Students are provided detailed instructions on how to start, what to avoid, and how to refer for support. Such instructions can be found on the competition page for contestants:
- The results start being measured and leaderboards are formed from the first minute of the beginning of the main phase. Any appreciation or depreciation of the portfolio during the set up phase does not influence the measured results of the contestants.
- Note: In some cases, sponsors may require contestants to stay limited to certain networks, certain tools or impose other limitations. Any such requirements would be provided in advance, during the registration process.
- Note: We do not endorse students risking their own funds. Contestants are not allowed to use their own assets to top up the smart wallets used for competition. Doing so would result in automated disqualification.
