Scoring of Entries
The purpose of the ARCET Global scoring model and criteria is to ensure that business stories, teams and leaders are scored accurately, effectively and independently. Giving both entrants and judges confidence that the winners are deserving.
Our scoring model is endorsed by the University of Chester Business School giving you confidence that all entries will be evaluated in a vigorous and thorough manner.
The University of Chester’s stellar commitment to Entrepreneurship and business excellence, echoes ARCET Global’s commitment to improve businesses around the world.
We are delighted to receive the endorsement of our scoring model by Chester Business School operating under the auspices of the University of Chester, which provides a clear, fair and robust evaluation of all of our entrants stories.
For some time, the University of Chester, has exemplified its long standing commitment to international business and has for example, been instrumental in bringing the real world of business directly into the academic arena of the classroom.

Each criteria scored 1-10 (10 being the highest score)
After all the presentations, judges score the overall entry out of 100 so they can reflect on which story captivated them.
Scores are aggregated and given a percentage.
Finalists who score within 3% of the highest marks of that category will be winners.
