A very interesting competition. But for some reason, points and medals are not used. The competition also placed in the “Community competitions” section, which is a little strange.
\nOr closer to the deadline, will the competition be moved to the main section, with points and medals?

\nAnd there's about 200k users on kaggle. (I got this number by adding the users here)
\nIf we assume 5% of all users to participate in competitions, that's 1k participants per competition, which is very low. Maybe that's why they cannot launch this competition to the main section? So they extended the deadline to 8 months, and maybe plan move it to the main section later.
Many factors influence whether a competition runs on the main page with points & medals, including timelines, available funding, Kaggle's own team bandwidth/involvement in preparation, similarity to previous competitions, dataset signal/size, whether the data is publicly available, whether the topic is experimental, and much more.
\nRunning on the community competitions platform is not a knock on the quality of the problem! It just means one or more of the above were at play (or, in the case of the hundreds of independently run competitions launched each month, that they were never intended to run on the main page).
