2020 Securities Dispute Resolution "Biathlon"
Out of concern for everyone’s health and well being, FINRA and St. John’s have decided to postpone our annual in-person Triathlon until October, 2021.
After careful consideration, we are offering for this year only a modified Triathlon format, the “Biathlon,” that may be of interest to those of you that still would like to compete. This modified version will consist of a Negotiation Round and an Arbitration Round. Those teams who register will receive the “Biathlon” problem and both side’s private facts, competition rules and judges score sheets. All schools will need to hold their own internal competitions. Although we have set aside October 17 as the Triathlon date this year, schools can schedule their internal “Biathlon” on an earlier date if that is more convenient for their school.
At the conclusion of the “Biathlon,” we will send you a link to a recorded “Biathlon” problem debrief by industry experts.
We look forward to having your school compete in our Biathlon!
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2020, or an earlier date if more convenient for the school
Fee: There will be not be a registration fee for this years competition.
Registration: Please register by Wednesday, September 2 by 5:00 p.m. EST. Teams that register can expect the Biathlon materials by Friday, September 4 at 12:00 p.m. EST. Please click on the green button above to register.
We wish you, your friends, family and loved ones continued resilience and good health during these times. Thank you again for your interest. We optimistically hope to see you all in-person for the Securities Dispute Resolution Triathlon on October 16, 2021.
