Challenge Onboarding¶

Once your challenge is accepted, our team will guide you through the onboarding process. This process ensures that all technical aspects of your challenge are properly set up.

🔧 Technical Setup (Guided by support)¶

The onboarding process consists of the following steps:

1. Create Phases
   Define the different stages of your challenge (e.g., debug phase, test phase).

2. Define Inputs and Outputs
   Set up interfaces by specifying the data the algorithms will receive and the outputs they are expected to produce.

3. Onboarding Meeting
   Meet with our support team to walk through your setup and address any questions.

4. Upload Data to Archives
   Add your test datasets to the platform.

5. Create Example Algorithm
   Provide a working baseline algorithm to help participants understand the expected input/output format.

6. Create Evaluation Method
   Define how submissions will be evaluated (e.g., metrics, comparison strategies).

7. Configure Scoring
   Set up scoring methods and leaderboard display options.

8. Test Evaluation
   Run test evaluations to verify everything works as expected before launching.

🗒️ Note: These steps are also listed in the Challenge Admin page, where you can mark each one as done once completed to keep track of your progress.

📋 Additional Organizer Tasks¶

In addition to the technical setup, you should also take care of the following:

• 📝 Create custom pages
  Add informational pages about your challenge goals, rules, timelines, and any other relevant content.

• 👥 Manage participants and teams
  Review participant requests, configure team settings, and handle approvals.

• 📦 Share your public data
  Ensure participants can download any required public training or reference data.

• 💬 Set up communication channels
  Set up a forum, enable direct messaging, or provide contact details to support participants.

💡 Tip: You don’t have to complete all these steps alone — our team is here to support you throughout the process!
