Q3.3: The APS score will be based on two parameters which are the prediction and the test results. In an event of collapse, will there be a certain value for the APS score or different calculation method for the APS score?

A: The analysis prediction score (APS) is used to determine which teams receive a bonus based on accuracy of their drift and acceleration predictions.  This bonus is applied to the final annual building income by reducing the final annual seismic cost.  If collapse occurs during either of the ground motions, an APS score of 100% will be awarded, making the team ineligible to receive the bonus based on the APS.
