From 70 to 80 in the leaderboard, you can see many users with similar scores. They all registered around 10 days ago and have only participated in this competition. Neither of them have any comments or real avatars.
\n\nIt could be that someone from the higher leaderboard, is using these fake accounts for leaderboard probing and more submissions a day.

If it's the case, then they must merge all as a team, or at least share publicly that so called baseline. particularly when it takes them comfortably in medal zones.
\n\nPrivate sharing isn't forbidden just for pleasure. When you give privately a good scoring model to (a group of ) peoples who don't deserve to be there , keep in mind you're also penalizing those behind you with legit and hard work from getting good ranks and medals.
