By doing this everyone can stay in the LB, and the result can reflect their efforts (so someone got 0.000 in stage 2 cannot be the top 5% of the LB).</p>\n\n<p>In Overview-&gt;Timeline it does say \"April 11, 2018 - Stage one deadline and stage two data release. Your model must be finalized and uploaded to Kaggle by this deadline.\" However, I personally think everyone that participated in this competition should stay in the LB. This is not an easy competition and a lot of people spent time/money on this one. Removing their scores from the LB is not fair.</p>",
