Criteria for Selecting World Champion

The Moot Corp® Competition simulates the process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from investors. The judges function as an investment group seeking to reach consensus on the business venture they would most likely fund—that is, where they would put their money. The quality of the idea, the strength of the management team, and the clarity and persuasiveness of the written plan and oral presentation all influence the judges’ decision. Ultimately, however, their votes follow their money, and the winner is the team, which convinces them to invest.

The four-page Moot Corp® Judge’s Evaluation Forms are completed by all judges before their collective discussion. The forms produce numerical scores intended to enhance rather than determine their final selection. Opinions and rankings change based on the discussions, just as they do in real investment committee meetings. The goal is to reach consensus on the company that represents the best investment opportunity.
