Hey All,

\n\n

As a reminder, the competition leaderboard is still to be finalized. With the few other non-standard eligibility requirements, Kaggle and DHS will be taking the next few days to finalize the leaderboard an announce winners.

Thanks for your patience and have a good weekend!

Any chance the competition headline can be reset to reflect the 508 teams from stage 1, since that's used for LB calculations anyways? Or that this number can be displayed somewhere else? It seems a lot of people are expressing similar sentiments but the current policy is to hide the stage 1 lb. Perhaps Kaggle should rethink this policy. Marketing / appearance is in everyone's best interest, and 153 teams certainly makes the competition sound a lot less impressive than 500+.

@Addison Howard, can you confirm if the final LB will reflect the total of 508 teams that participated in stage one of the competition when the medals are awarded, or will it be based purely on the number of teams (i.e. 153) in stage two?

@YaGana - For the purposes of medals and points calculations, we will use the number of participants in the first stage to calculate points and medals.

Hi Addison,

\n\n

How will we be contacted if Kaggle or the DHS have questions about our model? I feel like I could have included more info in my readme (I was in a rush) so I'm happy to answer any questions.

Hi Addison, \nI was wondering if the final leader board's medal standings would be updated with the correct amount of people. Currently the leaderboard is being calculated by the amount of people in stage 2, but according to FAQ shouldn't it be the amount of people from first stage?\nThanks

Yes - it usually takes us a few days to finalize the leaderboard. This competition will take a little longer given the complex nature and the weekend. Thanks!
