**[See Section 3.18 for defined terms](rules#18.-terms)**

*The competition described below is a skills-based data science challenge designed to encourage innovation in the field of health informatics. Participants will use bio-signal data to build models that can predict whether an individual is a smoker or a non-smoker. Entry requires registration through the official competition platform and acceptance of these Official Rules (collectively, the "Rules"). Please read these Rules carefully before participating to ensure you understand and agree to them. Submitting an entry in this competition signifies your full agreement with these Rules.
