The 34th edition of MERIT has launched, as construction organisations from around the globe field their best and brightest in the race to become MERIT 2024 Champions.
The hours of trialling and discussions on strategy will now come in to play as the next 7 weeks see risers and fallers in the overall league table.
AtkinsRéalis India's 'Construction Cheetahs' are the early pacemakers with an emphatic 39% rise in performance, giving them pole position on a score of 1386. TEAM 3 (AtkinsRéalis Ireland) enter in second place, followed by 'Cant Engineer Group (CEG)' in third, and 'Digbeth Drip Detectives' (AtkinsRéalis) in fourth.
However this is just the start of the process and there is still lots of time to review your position, refine your tactics, and consolidate your momentum, without going too fast too soon!
Looking forward to next week!

'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.
