It's my first to anticipate in this competition. I have already known that we receive all of datasets including regular games, ranking system, etc... after 3/25. What I wanna know is that our purpose is to predict the tourney games in 2020. Does it contains the second tourney compacts ? In addition, as i search for the date of the beginning of the playoffs which is on 3/17~3/18, but our last time submission in on 3/19. Will it cause any problem? Or something wrong I misunderstand?
\n\nSorry about so many questions, because of my poor eng level.
\n\nBy the way, we won’t know the H/A/N location for the tourney prediction. Is that right?
