In-Person Finals: February 18-19 (Tues/Wed), 2025, Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TN
Schedule and FAQs are located here.
What students do: Students provide 5-minute presentations based on analysis of a dataset provided by Zoomph. Judges hear the presentation and evaluate based on (1) statistical analysis, (2) data visualization, (3) actionable insights, (4) communication, and (5) integrity.
The NCSAC Study Guide from 2024 provides an outline of last year’s championship. The 2025 Study Guide will be released by Christmas 2024.
Why: Integrity, defined by Henry Cloud as “the courage to meet the demands of reality,” is at the center of the competition. Competition is the best way to measure talent. Students who can face the demands of short deadlines to produce actionable insights will shine.
