Update : Phase 1 is extended until April 12!

Hello,

Due to a general problem with the Grand Challenge platform, some participants were unable to execute their algorithms properly.
We have therefore decided to postpone phase 1 until Friday (April 12).

Sorry to all those who are eagerly awaiting the opening of phase 2!
Best,
Dorian

Any chance participants can be granted 1 additional credit for submissioin? For people tried very hard to use all 5 credits before the original deadline, keeping extending the Phase 1 deadline without granting additional submissions does not seem to be meaningful. In some sense, this is not fair, IMO ... Teams who didn't manage to meet the original deadline got extra time ....

I completely concur with what @jianxuchen mentioned. Our planning for the experiments and submission was based on the initially set deadline. An extension of a few days seems fair, but prolonging this phase by an additional 12 days is excessive. Had we been aware of this, our planning would have been entirely different. Allowing for at least one more submission would be beneficial...

I understand, and, again, I'm very sorry for these unforeseen extensions...
I've seen with Grand-Challenge about the budget and other submissions.
Thus, I can allow you (and every participants) 3 more submissions.
I hope this can help you.
Sincerely,
Dorian
