[|Future Problem Solving Process] The Future Problem Solving (FPS) Process is used in all competitions except the Scenario Writing and Onsite Scenario Writing competitions. The six steps of the process are as follows:
 * 1) Finding Challenges/Problems: Find possible problems within the given Future Scene.
 * 2) Select an Underlying Problem: Determine the most important or consequential problem.
 * 3) Solutions: Write solutions to solve the Underlying Problem.
 * 4) Generate/Select Criteria: Write 5 criteria by which to judge the solutions.
 * 5) Apply Criteria to Solutions: Judge the solutions with the criteria, and determine which solution is the best overall.
 * 6) Action Plan: The highest-scoring (best) solution, as determined by the Grid, is elaborated into a detailed plan for the implementation of that solution.
