Performance improves when the reasoning gets sharper.
A seven-round view of one team against the season baseline shows how forecasting discipline compounds over time.
Transparent scoring that still rewards real reasoning.
Booking pace, demand compression, and displacement effects aren't given to you — reasoning about them is the skill being scored.
Your MAPE is the average of absolute percentage errors across all scored forecast points.
Lower MAPE = better accuracy. Scores update after every round so you can track improvement.
Zero-actual edge cases are handled consistently under published rules. No surprises.
Built for credible competition operations.
Submissions lock automatically at the round deadline.
Audit history stays visible for scoring and admin decisions.
Role controls keep students, supervisors, and admins in the right lane.

The same discipline. The same metrics. The real stakes.
Revenue management analysts at full-service hotels forecast occupancy and ADR every week. They use the same metrics — the same vocabulary — the same consequences when they're wrong. RevME puts students in that chair before graduation.
Trusted by students and faculty at top hospitality programs.
“By Round 3 my MAPE dropped from 14.2% to 9.1%. I stopped guessing and started building a real reasoning process. I referenced this competition in every hotel interview I had.”

“I ran two cohorts back to back — fall and spring — without changing a single workflow. My students had a leaderboard conversation at the end of every class. That doesn't happen with spreadsheet assignments.”

Academic, global, and built to last.
Everything you need to know before Round 1.
