All cases are provided in both languages, and teams are able to make their submission in either language

Coaching a Team
Coaches may be a professor or members of a CES Chapter who are practicing in evaluation
Coaches are not required, but are highly recommended
Coaches are asked to provide the necessary time and attention to ensure that teams have the support they need to excel
Teams may be coached prior to the competition, but coaches cannot communicate with their teams once the teams have received their case
Coaches can support multiple teams; however, we recommend coaching only up to two teams due to the time commitment required of coaches
