Teams will be judged on their analysis of the case, their responsiveness to the prompt, the executive summary, and their presentation skills. Judges will focus on the viability of the strategies and the flow of the presentation. This includes content, organization, and demonstration of logical thinking. In addition, the team must be able to answer questions in a prompt, concise, and accurate manner. Executive summaries will be evaluated on their utility as stand-alone documents that reflect the analyses and resulting recommendations for the organization.

The judging panels will be composed of high-level executives from diverse backgrounds. They are selected by the College Bowl Committee and remain anonymous until the day of the competition.
