Rules
What Wharton has published for 2026–27, what last season's rules said, and what we verify on Sep 15.
Team rules
Official for 2026–27. From Wharton's Rules & Roles and FAQ pages.
Deliverables
Every deliverable is submitted by the team leader in SurveyMonkey Apply. Missing one makes the team ineligible for the semifinals. Internal drafts are one week ahead so Coach P can read them.

How we use it
Wharton's wording is on the official Rules & Roles page. Anything AI-generated that makes it into a report goes in the works cited.
Disqualifiers
Numbered the way Wharton lists them. Any one of these ends the season.
Verify on Sep 15
Each item gets checked against the Rules tab in WInS and the trading requirements in SurveyMonkey Apply once the materials land. Answers go into the data file so the Trading rules tab stops saying "verify".
Checked items are saved in this browser only.
