Hall of Fame

To decide the final overall rank of each participant, we attributed points for each data set: the leader of a problem at the end of the competition scored 5 points, the second 3, the third 2 and the fourth 1. In case of equality on a problem (we considered the 10 first digits of the perplexity score), the earliest submission wins. The winner is the participant whose score was the highest.

There was no restriction on the number of submissions a given participant could make. To compute the final score of a participant, we only considered the best of his submissions to each problem, so we only took into account the best submission.

Final results

Here is the final ranking of the competition:

Rank Team name Overall score
1 Shibata Yoshinaka 212
2 Mans Hulden 124
3 David Llorens 122
4 Raphael Bailly 75
5 Fabio Kepler 14
