Sixteen teams are divided into four divisions through a seeded-draw based on the results of the Preliminary Round.
All sixteen teams will present in Round One, where each team is given exactly 20 minutes to present. The judges will then proceed with a 10-minute question and answer period. Therefore, each team is given a total of 30 minutes in front of the judging panel.
The top team from each of the four divisions will advance to Round Two. These four teams will then deliver a repeat presentation in front of the entire judging panel.
After Round Two presentations have been completed, a Lightning Round takes place, where the top four teams are posed questions from the judging panel and are given 1-minute to devise a response.
Judging Criteria
The judging criteria is based on content and presentation, with content weighted more heavily than presentation. Further details on judging criteria will only be given at the SAP Welcome Dinner on February 6, 2013.

A case deliberation kit will be provided to all participating teams. The kit will include one laptop, stationary, and other items appropriate for a 24-hour case deliberation period.
