In the team based simulation, the class is divided into 15 teams, 10 teams of 6 participants each and 5 of 5 participants each. There will three what are called industries, and the teams play against one another in the same industry. Each industry will have five teams. The 6 member teams will be assigned to two industries and the five member teams, to the third industry. Grades are awarded to teams, and will be based on their relative as well as absolute performance.  In the individual based simulation (called CompXM), each participant plays the game on his/ her own and the grade is individual.
