All communication within Modria is currently asynchronous. The communication within Modria is text based, and appears much like a discussion thread on platforms such as FaceBook.

Each mediation room includes a common area for all parties to write questions and responses, as well as private areas where each party can write messages with the mediator privately.

How many rounds of competition will there be?
The competition will consist of one round over 4 days.

How will the competition be evaluated?
All communications will be judged on a scale of 1-5 by professionals within the eld of ADR. Once each transcript has been scored, the top 5 mediators and the top 10 parties will be announced.
