We'll post some clips of it, but not the full footage. You'll have to be there if you really want to watch it.

OR... Someone needs to come with the livestream and a Zelle #, for that Pay-per-View! LOL!

[Shorebird]

Yes, record and put it behind a paywall if needed. $ to charity?

[J.Celifarco]

[Shorebird]

DF and DB and BF have a global audience!

[abfunders]

sooo one of the broker contestants works for the same company one of the judges works for, UCS?? Haaaa, seems like a legit competition...

I had the same question....

[DonMcGrath]

I think I will be a guest judge, to make sure things stay smooth and frosty.

I'm clearly the most qualified person on the forum for such a position, and Sean gave his blessing yesterday, while we were sharing eggs florentine.

David Goldin is speaking at the conference. Many people are obviously already familiar with him but if you're not, he's one of the reasons this entire industry even exists: https://debanked.com/tv/?v=752770922

Interesting that brokers are sponsoring event. Is that how they got into the broker battle? Did all contestants pay? Just curious how it was picked?

[Sean Cash]

Hi. Broker Battle organizer here.

Zero of the contestants paid.
Only 1 of the contestants works for a sponsor. The other 5 don't.

Two of the judges are sponsors (Bitty and Triton)

[Sean Cash]

yep, and theres a reason no response. Its not a legit competition, paid for by judges and contestants.

It is indeed a legit competition.

Only 1 contestant works for a sponsor and none of them paid. It was narrowed down from a field of 50+ entrants based upon written submitted pitches.

This is true but purely by coincidence. UCS is not a sponsor and there are still 3 other judges.

BROKER BATTLE FORMAT

Round 1
Each of the 6 contestants goes individually in front of the 4 judges for a span of about 3 minutes. They begin with a very brief opening pitch and then the judges ask them questions. Each contestant can choose from 1 of 3 pre-defined scenarios so that they, the judges, and audience have a basic framework to work with. The MC will announce which scenario the contestant has chosen before the contestant goes so that the audience is aware.

Scoring
Judges will rank each contestant from a score of 1-10. 1 being the lowest, 10 the highest. After all six contestants have gone, the totals of each candidate will be tallied up. For example, if someone received a score of 6,8,5,and 9, their total score is 28. The contestants with the top 2 combined scores go to the final round. If there is a tie for the top 2 spots, the audience will decide the winner by crowd noise/enthusiasm.

Championship Round
Both contestants are on the stage at the same time in front of the 4 judges. They will be given the same scenario, which will be revealed and announced on stage right before they go. They will each individually begin with a very brief opening pitch whereby they will then field questions from not only the judges but also be given the opportunity to give rebuttals to their competitor’s statements.

Scoring
Each of the 4 judges will pick their favorite. If it is tied 2-2, the audience will decide the winner by crowd noise/enthusiasm.

Prize
The winner gets a $5,000 grand prize and the designation of Top Broker.

The Broker Battle is the final event at deBanked CONNECT MIAMI on Thursday. It starts at 5:10pm. While there will be cameras, it will not be livestreamed. Anyone hoping to see it will need to have a ticket.
