One account per participant You cannot sign up to Kaggle from multiple accounts and therefore you cannot submit from multiple accounts. No private sharing outside teams Privately sharing code or data outside of teams is not permitted. It's okay to share code if made available to all participants on the forums. Team Mergers Team mergers are allowed and can be performed by the team leader. In order to merge, the combined team must have a total submission count less than or equal to the maximum allowed as of the merge date. The maximum allowed is the number of submissions per day multiplied by the number of days the competition has been running. Team Limits There is no maximum team size. Submission Limits You may submit a maximum of 2 entries per day. You may select up to 5 final submissions for judging. Protection Against Handmade Entries Because the data can be manually decoded and thus an entry can be created by hand, scoring data will be withheld until you have locked down a model. Additional Submission Data You must upload all kernels and model files alongside documentation in a single zip file in order for your entry to be eligible. You can do this at the time of submission, or append it to your submission at a later time (before the competition end).

By submitting an entry into the challenge you agree that a discussion of the method may appear in these papers. Participants may not use data other than that provided. If necessary, the competition host may modify the training and/or testing dataset to address any problems/issues that come up during the competition.
