The \"Submission Limits\" clause of the competition rules says \"You may submit a maximum of 5 entries per day. You may select up to 2 final submissions for judging.\"
\n\nSo my understanding is that the competitors can upload as many models as they want (at most 5 models per day, of course) before the end of stage 1, and then in stage 2, they can select 2 models from the uploaded ones as the final submission.
\n\nHowever, in the \"Two-Stage Frequently Asked Questions\", it also mentions that \"You may upload as many model files as you wish. Kaggle only keeps the latest upload. Make sure your last upload is the right one!\". This seems a contradiction of the rule that 2 models can be selected as the final submission; how can you submit 2 models if only 1 is kept?
\n\nSo could someone clarify the rules of the model upload?
\n\nThanks.
