I See that multiple teams have submitted on the latest dataset and on the leaderboard have equivalent RMSE of 13.0085 and Rsquared of -2.2701.  
Is this a reporting error? Or should we believe all teams have the exact same results?

Your case is the last one, that is why many teams have the same score until a new column will be evaluated
