Contest Mechanics
If I am part of a team or group that has a dataset which was assessed and will be used in the Datathon, can I sign up on the same dataset team?
For the datathon competition, any registrant who signs up for a specific dataset team prior to the start of the event is eligible to participate in the competition. Ideally, sign-up is done upon registration. The organizers may re-organize/re-arrange the teams and team members so as to balance the capability and experience of each team and make the datathon fairer and more exciting.
If I am part of a team or group that has a dataset which was assessed and will be used in the Datathon, can I sign up on the same dataset team?
No, a participant in the datathon competition cannot sign up in his/her own team with a dataset used in the Datathon. So CARE PH participants may not sign up in any of the 3 teams (Hepatitis, Covid-19 pneumonia, Cancer registry) that will interrogate CARE PH datasets. Members of the Scoliosis team may not sign up with the team that will interrogate the scoliosis dataset, and so on.

When will the sign-up sheets open up?
When you register online, you may already indicate which team you want to join and your role(s) in that team. If you prefer to just attend the conference workshops and fireside chats but not the competition, you may indicate so when you register online. Paper sign-up sheets will also be available at the registration desk up to 2pm of day 1.
A minimum of 2 and maximum of 6 people can sign up for a dataset team. If more than 6 people sign up for a specific dataset team, the mentors will add a new research question for that dataset, provided at least 2 people will still be members of this added team.
