Prize Money Rules

Allocation of Prize Money

Team Budget (50%)
Half (50%) of the total prize money from any challenge will be allocated to the Data Science Team’s budget. This budget is exclusively for team-related expenses, such as paying for cloud computing or other resources needed for our work.

Active Members’ Share (50%)
The other half (50%) of the prize money will be divided equally among all active members of the challenge team.

Definition of Active Members

Regular Participation
An “active member” is defined as someone who regularly attends meetings related to the challenge and actively contributes to its progress.

Disputes on Active Status
If there’s disagreement about whether someone qualifies as an active member—such as if someone claims to be active but isn’t recognized or if others believe a person did not contribute—this will be resolved through a group vote.

Voting Procedure for Disputes

  1. Active Members Can Vote Only people that are undisputed active members can participate in the vote.

  2. Anonymous Voting
    Voting will be conducted anonymously to ensure all participants feel comfortable being honest.

  3. Quorum for Voting
    At least two-thirds (2/3) of the active members involved in the challenge must participate in the vote for it to be valid.

  4. Majority Decision
    If a person receives 50% or more of the vote, the decision is finalized. This applies to determining whether someone is considered an active member.

  5. Finality of Results
    The results of the vote are binding, and the group will proceed based on the decision.
