Confusion regarding competition end time

"24 May 2024: Competition Deadline
All deadlines are at 11:59 PM CET on a corresponding day unless otherwise noted. The competition organizers reserve the right to update the contest timeline if they deem it necessary."

I thought there was an additional 24 hours in the competition, since I read this to mean that the deadline was 24 May 2024 11:59 PM CET.

Hopefully I'm the only one that misunderstood. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to submit some of my most promising candidate models due to this misunderstanding.

Hopefully the competition will run again next year and I can try out those models from the start.

@picekl Thank you for running it and for being so responsive.

Hi @picekl

I'm also a bit puzzled; the competition's stated end time on the homepage is 24th May 2024, 11:59 PM CET. Given that it's currently 5:03 AM CET, I'm wondering if the private leaderboard has been disclosed prematurely. Could you confirm if these rankings are indeed the final scores?

Good Morning, @jack-etheredge @tasdfgy ,

Thank you for reporting it. This was not intended.
It looks like the end condition is more like this < "END DATE" instead of this <= "END DATE."

Sorry for your troubles.

Best,
Lukas
