Program Participation
Datathons: Participants will be placed into teams of three or four individuals who will be tasked with analyzing data sets
related to a specific topic to develop a unique analysis. At the end of the Program, teams will present their analyses to a panelof judges that will evaluate the analyses using stated criteria to determine winning teams. Sponsor will provide teams with
substantive, technical, formatting and other requirements for their analyses and presentations, as well as the applicablejudging criteria. Analysis and presentation must comply with Sponsor’s requirements and instructions or participation may
be disqualified.
Terminals: Participants will be placed into teams of three or four individuals to develop AI strategies and automate decision

and technical requirements for their bot coding and tournament participation, as well as details of the tournament rules andstructure, and prizes to be won. Program participation must comply with Sponsor’s requirements and instructions orparticipation may be disqualified.
Terminals Boss Drawing: During the Program, teams can compete against four (4) Sponsor-provided “boss” algorithms in thegame. For each boss algorithm that a team beats with a single algorithm during the Program, the team will earn one (1) entry
into the Boss Drawing, up to four (4) total entries per team. For example, if a team beats all four bosses with a single algorithm,
the team will earn four (4) entries. However, if a team beats all four bosses with four different algorithms, where each algorithm
defeats only one boss, the team will earn one (1) entry because the most bosses the team defeated with any single algorithm isone. At the conclusion of the Program, one (1) winning team will be selected from among all entries received and will win the

prize set forth in the Prizes Section below. Odds of winning depend upon the number of eligible entries received.
