The 2024 Competition
After our successful 2023 competition, we again ran a hybrid competition which combines the advantages of an online competition with those of an in person one. 32 teams took part.
There was an in-person regionals hosted by the University of Law London on 17th February 2024 and an online regional on 16th February. Congratulations to the 12 teams that qualified for the finals.
