Clarification on Submission Limits for COSAS Preliminary Test Phase

To the COSAS organizing team,

According to the Preliminary Test Phase and guidelines, the following explanations were provided:

• Each account is allowed 5 submissions during the preliminary test phase, with a maximum of 1 submission per day.
• However, to maintain fairness, each team is allowed a maximum of 2 accounts for submission.

My questions are :

1. Question 1: If a team has 2 members, does that mean the team can make a total of 10 submissions (5 per account)?
2. Question 2: Are the 5 submissions per account applicable across both Task 1 and Task 2 totally, or is each account allowed 5 submissions per task?

Thank you for your clarification.

Dear hoheon0509,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, your team can make a total of 10 submissions (5 per account), and each account is allowed 5 submissions per task. However, please note that the methods used by each account must be sufficiently different to address the same challenge tasks.

Additionally, in the final phase, participants will be required to make their methods public as part of their submissions for communication and review purposes.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Biwen Meng
