Hello,

It’s stated in the rules "This Competition is a challenge of skill and the final results are determined solely by leaderboard ranking on the private leaderboard (subject to compliance with these Competition Rules)."  
[https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/51/electricity-prediction-machine-learning/rules/](https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/51/electricity-prediction-machine-learning/rules/)

Is there a private leaderboard for this competition?  
If yes, do we need to select our best submission (like on Kaggle) and how to do it or is our final ranking based on private leaderboard will be based on any submissions we have done and its best performance on the private leaderboard?

If there is no private leaderboard, well that’s not a good new.

There is a private leaderboard with your best score against the private subset automatically calculated.
