The submission process
During the competition, when you make a submission, 20% of your predictions will be evaluated against the true values and you will get a "public score" . Your UW ID, number of submissions, and best public score will be displayed on the "public leaderboard".
You may make a maximum of 3 submissions per day (the day starts at 7:00pm) until the deadline: March 2, 2017 at 11:59pm (local time).
The "final score" will be evaluated on the remaining 80% of your predictions. Before the deadline, choose up to 3 submissions against which the final score will be evaluated.
