Between January 24^th and 30^th 2016, Pakapol Tangtongchin, Poomrata Wangpreedalertkul, Siwawong Wongsophanakul, and I, Ravisara Grover was given the opportunity to represent Thammasat University at Champions Trophy Case Competition in Auckland, New Zealand. The University of Auckland held the competition. Unlike other case competitions, Champions Trophy is unique in the way that they only invite universities that receives awards and titles from other competitions through out the year. This year, twelve teams from leading universities around the world were invited to the competition.

The competition can be divided mainly in 2 parts, the excursion activities and the case competition itself.

During the 3 threes days before the competition, excursion activities were held to break the ice between participants from each universities and build connects with international colleagues. This included activities such as bungy jumping form the Harbor Bridge in Auckland, bowling, and bubble soccer at the beach. These activities quickly bond all the teams to each other and create a friendly competition environment. All teams supported each other through out the competition even though they were competing against each other. Smiles were given during presentation. Congratulations were given at results announcement. It was an environment in which every team competed in a way that motivates other teams while doing our best.

As for the real case competition itself, it was divided into four case rounds with 3 teams in 4 divisions. During our first competition day, our team was presented with the case of Orion Health whom provided technological software to support data collect and integration in hospitals. Out of the three teams in this division, Thammasat was ranked third. However, we did not walk out first round disappointed or unmotivated. We instead question, ?What could we have done better? How could we improve in the nest round?? Our team spent the whole night adjusting and preparing for the next round.
