Which countries?

• Our headquarters is in the city of Rhenen in the Netherlands. 
• Some of our prizes are delivered only at our location. For participants coming from the BENELUX region, it will be convenient, as they are close to us.
• But we also welcome candidates from all around the EU.  We offer special programs for them and prizes.
• For candidates coming from other continents, we have only online prizes available. Same rules apply.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE TRIAL

• Candidates will attend a first 3 months trial
• Along the trial will receive courses, coaching, and scan reports.
• Candidates will also provide brief information about their entrepreneurial activities.
• The first challenge(es) will be given. Candidates may need no less than 12 hours in three months to complete them. A capacity assessment will follow the assignment of points.
• Those candidates with the TOP level of points will access the next level of the competition.

EVERYBODY WINS

• Candidates that did not pass the trial season will be assigned to a parallel track, in which courses, coaching, and advice will be given.
• Once the candidates feel ready, can request a new challenge. If they receive enough points will also pass to the next level of the competition.
• The same principle applies at any competition level.

THE CHALLENGES

• Tailor-made to each participant
• Take from 40 min time to a longer period of time.
• Participants decide if they prefer a long process challenge, the time they invest in and the prize they are competing for

COMPETITION LEVELS

• Traditional competitions set the levels in advance. But we do not.
• Participants may continue leveling up their game, non-stop.
• The only thing they need to do to access the next level is to request the next challenge.
• It is a rule of the competition that the MAP is only known by the game master. 
• Depending on how the participants play, points, and capacity of performance are achieved, more complex challenges may be given, involving partners, customers, or stakeholders. 
• How long does it take to complete a level? We give to all participants a max. of 81 days to complete a level and no less than 9 days.

HOW TO WIN PRIZES?

• Participants win prizes
• Before candidates start any level of the competition, transparent information will be given on which are the level prizes and the top performance indicators. 
• Candidates may play utilizing their own resources, skills, and experience;
• Or may request training, coaching, mentorship, or resources from our ecosystem to increase their chances for success.
• Participants win at each stage or level of the competition. Each level has its own prizes. 
• See the list of prizes that have been placed in the game for winners of all levels, by the Matrix-Q Ecosystem or by our partners. This is the only information that will indicate to participants that there is more to win.
• It is part of the game to discover how to reach those possible prizes.

TAILOR-MADE COMPETITION

• Mentors, coaches, and trainers will support candidates in their journey.
• One unique quality of this competition is that we tailor-made the challenges, utilizing Matrix-Q Algorithms.
• It means that each player may need something else to do. Yet all players will need to complete similar milestones in their journey.

HOW DO WE ASSIGN POINTS?

• Points are assigned when a competitor completes a challenge, task, or project.
• To receive points means in particular that the candidates have reached the next level, not necessarily that have been successful at the task. What is the next level? depends on what each candidate needs to evolve, and develop the capacity to play at a new level.
• We utilize the Matrix-Q Score Card 9. It is a Multidimensional Holistic Matrix with key performance indicators, business and human stages of development, innovation readiness, and systemic impact capacity.
