The 2011 MikesBikes-Advanced World Champions are... First Place to Matt Hopkins - Hailing from Bowling Green State University, USA, Matt veered his firm Iron Bike Tyson to victory, while competing with other powerhouse firms like ELOTI and Fairly Cool Cycles. Having established a strong foothold in the market from early on, Matt says he found the competition fun and extremely competitive! "I would first like to thank all the competitors, you made this an extremely challenging competition. I constantly found myself questioning and tweaking my strategy to adapt to the hyper-competitive market. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I couldn't be any happier" - Matt Hopkins
Second Place to Tomer Weistuch, Inbal Nishlis, Ortal Azulay and Liora Barac - Competing from the University of Haifa, Israel, this team stayed in top positions all throughout the competition. The firm's biggest strength was being long term sustainable, while maintaining steady profits. Team spokesperson Tomer Weistuch passes on this message: " Thanks for the opportunity to learned a lot about business through the game. It was a great learning experience" - ELOTI |

2010 MWC Competition Results:
|
The 2010 MikesBikes-Intro World Champion is... Charles Lu from the University of Auckland. Congratulations to Charles who narrowly won the final ahead of Garett Webb with a SHV of $97.14. Special mention also goes to Mark Delecate from the Munich Business School who won the Plate Final. Check out the Final Scoreboard below for a full run down. It was very exciting to participate in this competition as the result in the end was very close. I would also like to congratulate the other prize winners for their fine results. I have used MikesBikes a few times in the past and each time it offers a unique experience because there is no single best solution to the game. You have to respond to your competition as well as implement your own strategy. I am looking forward to participating in future events! |

Garett Webb from the University of Auckland |
"It was a pleasure to take part in this year's competition. Persevering competitors once again made for a challenging, yet rewarding game. I look forward to taking part in future contests!" Best regards, Mark Delecate |
Mark Delecate from Munich Business School |
The Cup Final competitors were neck to neck for most of the competition! While Garett Webb started out strong and maintained the lead for the first half of the game, Charles Lu executed his strategy with perfect timing and precision, ultimately reigning supreme! Special mention goes to Hieu Ha, who ran a very successful and profitable firm. Their firm was very cost effective, with profits nearly as high as the winners, even with lower sales.
In the Plate Final, while Tang Tang and Mark Delecate started out strong, it was Adam Thompson who was Mark's main competition. However, Mark Delecate had a strong business plan, and always stayed ahead of the competition, ultimately winning the final prize.
Full credit goes to the winners who fought close battles and emerged as victors! From the Scoreboard report you can see that consistently large Profit margins won the competition for the firms. The top performing Firms did this through being the most efficient with their spending, achieving the most effect from each dollar spent.
On behalf of Smartsims, we would like to congratulate all those who competed in this year's competition and wish you well in your future endeavours.

Full credit to Life on Two Wheels, who were able to push forward to top place mid-competition, and once there, have really dominated with a convincing win. Prizes will be awarded to the top two teams as advertised; we will be in contact shortly to discuss this.
The results speak for themselves; the remaining positions were a close battle heavily fought right down to the last rollover - you had us here at Smartsims on the edge of our seats. Special mention goes to team bbuNZ (New Zealand) who grabbed third place only on the final rollover. Congratulations to those remaining teams that were able to achieve over $200 SHV, Baldwin (Australia) and Legendary (New Zealand).
From the Scoreboard report you can see that although the top Firm did not have the highest Sales, it was their consistent large Profit margin that won them the competition (though large Sales definitely help to achieve that Profit). The top performing Firms did this through being the most efficient with their spending, achieving the most effect from each dollar spent.
On behalf of Smartsims, we would like to congratulate all those who competed in this year's competition and wish you well in your future endeavours.
