They were the Highest-Ranked Team after the Preliminary Rounds and also the only team that won two different awards at the competition.
The Warsaw Negotiation Round is considered to be the most prestigious and competitive negotiation competition in the world. The competition only accepts 12 teams to participate in person at the Global Finals from among a pool of applicants from around the world. This year, the tournament hosted teams from 10 diverse countries - USA, England, Wales, Greece, Poland, the Netherlands, Germany, Indonesia, Czech Republic, and India, thereby giving participants a platform to negotiate in a truly cross-cultural setting.
The scenarios used during the negotiations were extremely unique and different from traditional negotiation competitions. The first two preliminary rounds were bi-party negotiations, the third round was a tri-party negotiation, and the fourth round was a four-party negotiation. At the end of the four preliminary rounds, the top 4 teams participated in the Final round, which was also a four-party negotiation judged by a jury of 9 expert assessors.
