Guide to the Registration Form

Country the team seeks to represent: You may choose to represent a country if either of the following conditions are met:

  • The majority of team members are studying in the country

  • The majority of team members are citizens of the country. This includes citizens who are studying in universities or colleges outside the country.

If neither of the conditions apply, explain your choice of country in an email to the organizers at worldcasecomp@gmail.com

Language used by the team: This is the language that the team members use to communicate with each other and their coach.

Name of the team (proposed): This is the name that will appear in a team’s written analysis of the case. It must not allow the judges to guess the team’s country or sponsoring organization. The competition organizers reserve the right to ask the team to use a different name.

Contact person: The contact person must be a member of the student team. They will be responsible for communicating with WECC on the team’s behalf. The contact person will receive a link to the case and activate it once the team has assembled and is ready to start. They will upload the team’s submission using the same link and will also send two emails to WECC organizers: one with photos of the team at work on the submission and one with a back-up copy of the team’s submission.

Email addresses: WECC prefers that members of the student team provide personal rather than university email addresses. University addresses are often deleted after graduation.

Evaluation-related courses and months of practical experience * : Team members are not required to have trained in program evaluation or to have had practical experience in the area. The data that team members provide on evaluation-related courses and practical experience is used only when there is more than one team from a given country. The organizers then consider evaluation training and experience when deciding which team should represent that country in the world competition.

Narrative * : The team should provide three reasons why it should be chosen to represent its country. If more than one team registers from a given country, the organizers will consider the narrative arguments when selecting the country team.

 * Not required of teams that have won a national competition.
