Competition Rules

1. Posters of the results will be presented by teams for judging at Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science fall reception.  At least one team member must be present at the reception in order to be eligible for prizes.  (We will work with teams to find a date and time.)
   

1. The data owners (Uken games) would like to see what you do with their data, so you will need to email a copy of your poster and code for Dr. Dave Campbell to pass along to them prior to the judging. Code sharing also ensures that analyses are reproducible, so it’s good statistical practice. 
   

1. The use of a repository such as github is allowed, but public online repositories must not contain the dataset.
