Using the simulation, students make strategic decisions for their company and compete to gain customers, keep up with production, and maximize returns. Competitors have access to the Capsim simulation prior to the event, and information sessions are held to help familiarize competitors with the simulation. The competition comprises five rounds of simulation. There are debriefing sessions after each of the first four rounds with faculty and alumni, and coaching is provided throughout the day.
