Hello,\nI am writing with the question to organizers. TensorFlight is the team representing TensorFlight, Inc. - US-based company owned by non U.S. residents. Would we be eligible for the prize money as U.S. based company?
\n\nI found such definition of U.S. entity:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_entity\nBut our layers claim it is not clear to what definition of entity you are referring to in the Rules section.
\n\nThank You

\n\nI received the following from the competition sponsor: The eligibility of a private entity to win prize money rests on meeting two requirements: (1) it is incorporated in the United States (2) a primary place of business is maintained in the United States. There is no citizenship requirement for the owners. Conversely if they are applying as a group of individuals and not as a private, incorporated entity -- they would not be eligible for prize money unless they are U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents.\" I hope that helps!
