It's our first time to participate in kaggle competitions. Because of a misunderstanding of team merge rule, we commit more than 275 submissions(308 submissions). The third place user (zonghua) help us to train some models, but he can't merge in our team. How can we do now?

I'm one of the member of Novelfor's team(Eureka), the rule indicated that
\n\n\n\n\nno code sharing between separate Teams, unless a Team merger occurs
\n
We tried to merge our team before deadline to avoid violating this rule, Novelfor explained what happened next.\nWe surely did not want to break the rule, but obviously now that we are unable to merge zonghua into our team because the team merge deadine has passed.
\n\nSo are we breaking the rule now? And what should we do? It's our first competition in kaggle, we surely don't wanted to be considered cheater in our first compitition.\nShould we just open source everything to avoid violating the rule? Or should we continue the competition? What should we do?\nHope @Pete Warden or other competition organizers could answer these questions.
