Review Steps

1. Read one of the following important documents prior to conducting your review, in accordance with the type of plan that is assigned to you.

For-Profit Frame of Reference (PDF)
Non-Profit Frame of Reference (PDF)

2. Access your reviewer account by going to the Login page.

The page looks like this:





















3. Enter the username and password issued to you by email. You will come to a screen that looks like this:























4. Download and read the business plan(s) assigned to you. The file(s) you need will be represented as links to PDFs at the bottom of the screen above.


5. Conduct your business plan evaluation at your convenience by selecting the "Business Plan Evaluation" link at the bottom of the screen above. Enter your scores and any comments you have about each element of the plan.

You must give a numerical rating in each category. Due to the mathematical nature of this system, omitting any selection will greatly punish the team. Verbal comments are appreciated, but not necessary. Comments, both negative and positive, can be very helpful to the students. Following the competition, students may view their plan’s evaluations, but your name will not be visible to them and will not appear anywhere on the evaluation.

You will enter your evaluation on a page that looks like this:




























6. Save or Submit your evaluation.

You may progressively enter responses; you do not have to review the entire plan in one sitting.

You must SAVE your comments and ratings before closing the page EACH TIME you make entries. Use the "Save Review" option to do this.

MOST IMPORTANT: When you select "Submit Evaluation," your review ballot will be submitted to us. Do this only after you complete all your entries.

The deadline for submitting the evaluations online is TBD.
