Congratulations to the winners, it was a tough competition.  
I have an issue since in the private Leaderboard my best submission didn’t get selected.

Hi @hafidh24,

For this competition, you were required to select only one submission. Whichever submission you had selected when the competition closed was the submission used to determine final rankings.

Best,  
Chris

I didn’t select any submission at all during the competition.  
I thought best is selected automatically.  
thanks
