Competitions

Build a team. Compete all semester.

Members form teams of 3–5 and go head-to-head all semester across two competitions — one for trading, one for activity. Here's who topped the podium in Spring 2026.

Each semester, the top teams earn real rewards — free membership, merch, and exclusive events.
