Questions about submissions and team formation

[paper-machine]

Excuse me, how do each person's personal account form a team? If two people have commit records, can they still form a team?

Every participant should have a personal account. For forming a team one team member just uses a team name and chooses a password. After that other team members can also make submissions using the same team name and password. Hope this helps. Best regards, Moritz

Thank you for your reply. Since I don't see a place where a team account can be created, does this mean that all members can submit with the same personal account, and this personal account is used as a team account.

Sorry for the confusion. The team is created implicitly by all individuals using the same team name with the correct matching password during a submission. So the system would only see users as part of a team if the user has made at least one submission with the team name. However, we anyways do not show team members on the live leaderboard. So there's absolutely no problem if there are team members which never make a submission themselves. You can put the names of all team members on the abstract which is describing your solution. This only needs to be submitted one week after the leaderboard closes.

Just to be clear. The team password is not your personal password but one that you create yourself and share between the team members.

I understand, thanks.
