Hey there,  
I’ve submitted something yesterday but made a mistake and quickly canceled it (before it even started, the amount of persons in the queue was the same when I re-uploaded the right version). It’s stated in the submission’s rules that a canceled submission will not count as a submission but that one counted as one of my three submissions for the week. Could you help me with this ?

Thank you very much and thanks for the great challenge !

SimonB

Hi @SimonB - Thanks for asking about this. That’s correct, and it looks like this cancelled submission did not count towards your limit. You are able to make 3 submissions every 7 days. It appears you’re all set with this, but let us know if you have any more questions.

Hi @glipstein  
Thank you very much for your answer. I actually didn’t get that the submissions’ limit was a “sliding window” of 7 days within which you can only have 3 submissions. I thought that it was 3 submissions per week, reinitializing on Mondays.

Thank you
