Dear Competitors,

Thank you for your patience while we work on scoring of this challenge.

1. We have updated the scoring to fix the ranking (lowest scores = best). We understand there are still -1s appearing top of the leaderboard and we will resolve these.
2. This change was implemented on 21 Aug 2024 and the leaderboard rescored.
3. We have also added a number of error messages. Now, three distinct error messages will be returned instead of -1, each providing more specific details about the scoring issue.

The error messages are:

“The number of sites is wrong, please check your submission”

“The site name or time length is wrong, please check your submission”

“The strategy is unfeasible, please re-design your strategy”

In addition to this we are working on providing more information on the scoring script and we appreciate your patience here - we do hear you and we are working on it as fast as we can.

The Zindi Team
