Dear organizers,
Thank you for extending the competition's test phase by one week. We appreciate this decision but would like to ask if the submission limit could be increased from 3 to 5, given the extended test phase development time. This adjustment would help ensure fairness for those who have already used up their submission limit before the original DDL.
Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to your response.
Best regards.
XYPB
Hi XYPB,
Our stance is that extending the deadline maximizes participation while maintaining fairness: everybody gets 3 submissions and the development phase is closed for everybody.
Given that participants have had ~16 weeks to develop solutions during the development phase, we believe that an additional week — critically, *without the possibility of feedback from the development set* — does not provide any sort of differential advantage (or disadvantage) and merely permits more teams to participate.
Thank you for participating in the challenge and we wish you the best of luck!
Best,
Greg Holste | CXR-LT Organizer
