Participants will be judged based on an Automated Score and a Judge Score

The automated score will be done through findmyforce.online and consists of three criteria

Classification - How accurately your solution classifies transmitters
Geolocation - How accurately your solution locates transmitters
Novelty - How accurately your solution detects and classifies signals not in training data

Automated Score = 40% Classification + 30% Geolocation + 30% Novelty

Judge Scoring is determined by the following criteria:

COP Usability - How user-friendly the Common Operating Picture (COP) is

Technical Depth - Sophistication of your ML approach, geolocation method, track
management, and any enhanced features.

Presentation & Demo - Clarity of live demo, ability to explain design decisions, and
handling of judge questions.

Judge Score = 30% COP Usability + 30% Technical Depth + 40% Presentation & Demo

Both scores will be added to arrive at the final score.
