DECA Competitive Events 

Virtual Business Challenge 

The Virtual Business Challenge will contain two ICDC qualifying rounds, one in October and one in December. Each team will have one to three members. The top two teams from each region from each of the qualifying rounds will be eligible to compete at ICDC. Only one team per chapter, per round, per track may qualify to compete at ICDC. Only original team members may compete at ICDC; no substitutions may be made. A member can compete in accounting , entrepreneurship, fashion , hotel, personal finance, restaurant, retail, and sports. The member will be allowed to participate in only one VBC track at ICDC. Final rankings will be determined based on their cumulative total profit from both sessions and the competition sessions at ICDC will run for approximately 15 minutes.

Individual Events 

Individual Series Events consist of two major parts: a written cluster exam and two preliminary roleplaying events. A test is usually a 100 question multiple choice exam. You will have 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to present.

Presentation Events 

Prior to the presentation, the judge will evaluate the written portion of the entry. The major emphasis of the written entry is on the content. Drawings, illustrations and graphic presentations- where allowed- will be judged for clarity, not artistic value. The chapter representatives will present the project to the judge in a 15-minute presentation worth 40 points. If time remains, the judge may ask questions pertaining to the project.
