Registration for MERIT 2024, the annual construction business game supported by The Institution of Civil Engineers and Loughborough University has now opened and is available until the game starts in October 2024. The game culminates with an online Grand Final held between 02 & 13 December 2024.
MERIT 2024 will be the 34th annual edition of the MERIT Game. Over 35,000 young engineers (including international players), have previously participated and many now hold senior positions with MERIT launching their ambition to senior management.
The MERIT Simulation provides for a team, acting as a board of directors, to run a virtual construction company with the added excitement of benching performance against other competing teams.
So, for your chance to drive forward your own virtual construction company and maybe win the MERIT 2024 cash prize as MERIT Champions...

'GMWP Ltd' from the University of Leeds have fought off tough competition to become the MERIT University Tournament 2024 Champions.
They dug in and held on, achieving the win, even though their share price was only 0.15, ranking them fourth in the share price list. They were sixth in the final round of the Early Years Phase and clearly coped well with the increased competition of the final.
Coming second were SWOLE (National University of Singapore). Consistent throughtout the game, and top in share price with 0.22 at the end of the game.
Third Chai Dragons (University of Manchester). Holding the lead coming into and for much of the Final, their strategy did not quite cope with the increased competition of the Final Years. Fourth were Prasinos Aegis ( Uni of Manchester) , third in the Final Round of the Early Phase. Fifth were Task Force 141 ( Glasgow Cal. Uni). GCU were last years winners but fell well behind in the final rounds.
William Martin, Conáran Patton, Riku Gega and Anton Whitehead the team members of the winning team 'GMWP Ltd', share the £2000 cash prize.
Congratulations to all the Finalists, and all those that took part in the MERIT University Tournament 2024.

With percentage improvements generally down, its now time for a rest as the Early phase concludes.
'Chai Dragons', Manchester and 'SWOLE' NUS both hold onto their positions of first and second while 'Prasinos Aegis', Manchester rise one place to third as 'Task Force 141', GCU slip to fourth. It's Task Force 141's poor performance this round that let 'Prasinos Aegis' get ahead. Whatever 'Task Force 141' tried it clearly didn't work so their tactic in round ten could be described as foolhardy!
Now its time for the Final phase where we reset the scores and maybe tweak a setting or two!
Starting with two Early Year rounds, just like the early phase, the game will transfer into the Final Years. The four rounds of Final Years are much more competitive as each team will be competing against all the other teams and the simulation for work and project managers, and they'll have less time to make decisions.
For now the teams need to pause and take stock, the Final phase is just around the corner.
