hot air balloons

There's been a change at the top of the leaderboard, as 'QS Panda' (Hong Kong Polytechnic University) rise to the top from their previous third position. 'AMRY' (University of Manchester) and 'Gopher Diggers' (University of Minnesota) fall one place each to second and third respectively, as 'Team Bradford' (University of Bradford) enter the fray in fourth.

As we enter the second half of the Early Years, now is the time for teams to re-evaluate their strategy. If they leave it any later, any benefit expected from a change, may not materialise.

Let's channel that 'hot air' and see where the winds take us.

As the competition gets into its stride the top two teams from last week have consolidated their positions at the top of the leader board. But while 'AMRY' (University of Manchester) and 'Gopher Diggers' (University of Minnesota) may think its 'All too easy', all the action is happening below them as teams' grand designs are refined and come into play.

With the steep learning curve of Trialling the first round now behind them, we look forward to the teams converting their new found learning into a winning strategy

The MERIT University Tournament 2025 gets underway as the teams make their first moves.

'AMRY' of University of Manchester have had a strong Trialling phase, with 'Gopher Diggers' from the University of Minnesota and 'BABA' from HK PolyU,SPEED tight on their heels.

As the Teams settle into the game, its hard to make any predicitons as to who will come out on top. Those that achieved the best understanding of the issues and variables involved should do better, but inspiration may have obscured that. The next few rounds will indicate which teams have developed the best strategy and which teams need to have a rethink.

Good luck to all the teams.
