Each team will represent the same fictional developing country. The detailed country profile will be given on the day. This will be followed by five decision-making prompts. Once disclosed, the teams will be given a set of response choices to choose from. Teams begin with 100 points. For each prompt, they choose one of three options (A, B, or C). Each decision has a hidden point value, either positive or negative, based on its economic suitability. The total score after all five prompts determines whether the teams progress to Round 2.
Each team will be given a unique economic Trigger → Consequence pair (e.g., 'US raises interest rates → Mango prices fall in India'). They must construct a 4–6-step logical economic chain linking the two. Teams will present their chain on stage within a 3-minute window. After their explanation, a judge will introduce a surprise twist (e.g., an oil shock or currency collapse), and teams must provide a short response adapting their chain to this new condition. You will be allowed to modify the existing chain or reconstruct a new one- but within a stipulated time! Teams must also outline three possible ripple effects or constraints their country might face due to this scenario. Teams should be prepared for the spontaneous follow-up questions from the judges once they present the chain and ripple effects.
