ModelOff is a fun, innovative and professional competition for students and young professionals to develop and test their financial modeling skills against their friends, colleagues and top modelers from around the world. Participants from over 100 countries compete in two online qualification rounds with a finals event held in New York.
With over 2,000 competitors involved in last year’s inaugural Financial Modeling World Championships, ModelOff 2013 guarantees to be even bigger and better. Pre-Register for ModelOff 2013 now to make sure you don’t miss out.
ModelOff competitors will first battle it out in Round 1 and will be required to answer a variety of multiple choice questions in relation to a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Case Study as well as Practical, Theory and Excel related problems. This round will be conducted completely online and participants will compete individually, so all you need is a computer, internet connection and a copy of Excel. We will be using the latest Microsoft 2010 Excel version throughout the competition.
Round 2 will be structured very similar to Round 1, but with more challenging questions, so you better bring your A-Game!
ModelOff will culminate in a live finals event to be held in the spiritual home of Financial Modeling, New York City. Finalists will do battle in front of 4 global judges and will be set a variety of challenges testing Innovation, Speed, Data and Risk understanding, Best Practice Modeling Theory and more.
