Competitions

I am receiving an error for my submission.

Please refer to the submission format of sample_submit.csv available in the Download Data page. Common causes of errors are as follows:

  • Incorrect datetime format
  • Containing non-numeric values
  • Extra comma at the end of the row
  • File size is too large (Limit: 400MB)

Do submission errors affect daily submission limits?

Only successful submissions do.

Can I use external data in the competition?

As it depends on the competition you are entering, please confirm them in the competition rules page.

I have issues with downloading data.

Please try out the followings:

  • Use the latest version of Google Chrome.
  • Disable brower security extensions.
  • Confirm the settings of your installed anti-malware softwares.
  • Access from the network from outside of your organization.
  • Use the latest version of OS.

If all else fails, please send us information about the version of the os, browser, browser extensions, and how browser behaves when clicking the download button.

Teaming up

I cannot create a team.

Whether or not team-up function is enabled depends on the competition type. When it comes to the competition where the function is enabled, you can see the Team Up button appearing next to the Submit button. Note those one of the following conditions applies are not allowed to join a team when:

  • he or she has already teamed up.
  • he or she already belongs to another team.

Please also not that in order for one to join a team, it must

  • have a SIGNATE account.
  • be a solo participant.

Note that a team should be created for each competition even though it has the same team members.

Can I add a nen member later?

Within the team creation period, members can be added from the "Edit Team" button on the competition page within the maximum number of team members.

Please note that team creation period and the maximum number of team members vary depending on the competition.

How do I leave a team?

You cannot leave your team once you join it.

Can I use SIGNATE CLI to submit predictions?

Yes, you can submit predictions by using SIGNATE CLI (Click here for details).

I have issues with submitting my predictions.

The following situations can be considered as reasons for the submission error:

  • Your team have reached maximum allowed submissions per day.
  • Your team leader deactivated its account.

What happens if a team is disbanded?

When one is participating in a competition as a team leader, deactivating its account will instantly disband the team.

Once your team is disbanded, you will no longer be able to submit predictions to the ongoing competition that you have been participating in.

It would be good to discuss the team activity policy among members to avoid unexpected situations.


Please note deactivating a team member's account does not disband the team as long as it is not leader's.

When all team member's accounts except the leader's are deactivated, the team will be regarded as a solo team.

Where can I find the documentation of the competition team-up feature?

Please refer to this page for details.
