Greetings everyone,

Should the trained model be included inside the submission zip, and then loaded by the main.py script?  
Or another way is to be used?

Yes. If you have trained a model you should package it as part of the submission. See the [demo submission](https://www.drivendata.co/blog/belugas-benchmark/#demo-submission)
