After a challenging and exciting ground competition, we are pleased to announce the results of the semi-finals of HelioSPHERES. The table below provides the ranks of teams for each day of the ground competition and the corresponding ground scores calculated as Ground_Score = ((8-rank)/7)*100. Links to animations of the matches will be posted on the brackets page.  The teams highlighted in red did not participate in the ground competition.

Semi-Finals scores have been calculated as weighted average of the simulation and ground competition scores where Semi-Final Score = (1.5*Simulation_Score + Ground_Score)/2.5. The table below lists the teams in descending order of their total semi final scores and the top 10 teams have been highlighted in green.

Congratulations to the ISS Finalists! We know how hard you have worked all through this competition and  as everyone can see, the competition has been very close.  Unfortunately, resources and astronaut time on the ISS are very limited and we can only allow 10 teams to compete in space. For all the teams not participating in the ISS Finals, the IDE will be open for you the rest of the season to experiment with the updated players. You are ALL invited to join us at MIT for the final competition broadcast live from the ISS.
