  "content": "<p>Hi @kaggleteam, </p>\n\n<p>In <a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/c/liverpool-ion-switching\">Liverpool Ion Switching competition</a>, we were having the same number of digits on LB, as we have in Alaska2 Steganalysis. Because of this, it was hard to track what was happening in the competition.  Same is the case here as well. </p>\n\n<p>So, kindly can we have more digits on LB here while the competition is going on. In Liverpool Ion switching, you guys gave more digits after competition end which was not useful info to make a better decision. Here is the <a href=\"https://www.kaggle.com/c/liverpool-ion-switching/leaderboard\">link</a> to that LB.</p>\n\n<p>Currently, with the same score, I got LB boost from 300 to 126 and I do not know which submission got me there. One more point is that private LB will be based on another 80% of the data, hence knowing how much our submission scores on public LB with some more digits will help in deciding which submissions to choose for final scores. </p>\n\n<p>Any thoughts? </p>\n\n<p>Thanks.</p>",
