Dear Challengers,
The official phase of this year’s Challenge ends on Sunday, 23 August 2020 at 11:59pm GMT (7:59pm ET).
We encourage you to submit your final entries as soon as possible. We always receive a large number of submissions immediately before the deadline, and it is not always possible to provide actionable feedback on entries that are submitted just before the deadline. Unfortunately, due to the time constraints imposed by the conference and the need to be fair to all teams, it is not possible to extend the deadline or grant exceptions to the deadline.
After the end of the official phase, we will rerun each team’s “best” or “favorite” entry on the full test set. By default, we will use your highest-scoring entry from the official phase, but you will have until Saturday, 29 August 2020 at 11:59pm GMT (7:59pm ET) to choose a different entry. Also, as announced in February, working and reproducible training code is an important and mandatory part of this year’s Challenge. Teams that do not include or use their training code in their entries are not eligible for prizes or the official Challenge rankings.
If you have not done so already, then please register for CinC. Your papers and presentations are essential and important (and fun) parts of each Challenge. To be eligible for prizes and the official Challenge rankings, each team must submit a conference paper and give an oral presentation or poster presentation about your work. If you are unable to attend in person, then you can attend remotely this year at a reduced fee. (Please contact the CinC organizers directly for fees, invitation letters, etc.)
Please see the following information (including deadlines) for CinC papers, oral presentations, and poster presentations:

Like past years, you must submit a preprint of your paper to CinC shortly before the conference (by 6 September 2020) and update it to include your final score and ranking (and any other edits) after the conference (by 30 September 2020). We have prepared a LaTeX template for you to use for your CinC papers (the above website also has a Word template):

Please follow the instructions in this template. In particular, please cite the following reference as the official description of the Challenge. This paper describes the Challenge in general, so you should focus on describing your work:
Best wishes for the final days of the official phase, and we look forward to (remotely) seeing as many of you as possible next month!
Best,

Please post questions and comments in the forum. However, if your question reveals information about your entry, then please email challenge at physionet.org. We may post parts of our reply publicly if we feel that all Challengers should benefit from it. We will not answer emails about the Challenge to any other address.
