Hey all,

\n\n

We've seen the announcement that the tournament has officially been canceled this year. We certainly wish the best for all those involved to stay safe and healthy. We'll take some time internally and will make an announcement early tomorrow on next steps for the NCAA-M and NCAA-W Kaggle competitions. We do not currently intend to make any adjustments to the Analytics competition.

\n\n

Stay tuned,
