The rules of this competition are a fairly basic set of rules that apply to all academic exploration and experimentation.  Cite your sources, collaboration is expected and encouraged, don’t be dishonest about how you achieved your results because that helps nobody and actually wastes other researchers time trying to reproduce your work. With that said, we will not be considering multiple submissions of identical solutions as an acceptable way of attaining a top ranking score.  If we find such cases of blatant copying, we will simply take the first team to submit with that solution and discard the others.   

Additionally, since this is a derived dataset from a publicly available data product, a suitably resourceful team could trace back the individual reports to that data product and figure out class labels that way.  With that said, we expect all participants wishing to have their academic paper considered for publication to provide the working model code that produced the final submitted results for this competition.  This requirement serves two functions, 1) to mitigate opportunity for such gaming of the evaluation process, and 2) so that the broader solar physics community can benefit from the research performed by any advances made by participants of this competition.
