The following formats are currently supported: zip, gz, gzip, csv, json, txt, sql, xml, tsv, ebs, avro, orc, parquet, hdf5, 7z, tbz2, iso, tar, bz2, z, xls, xlsx, graph, properties, offsets, flac, ogg, wav, aac, mp3, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, avi, mov, mp4, mpg, m4v, yaml, dat, mat, fig. If your competition dataset consists of multiple files, you can again select ‘choose’ and ‘upload’ to upload additional files.
      • TIP: For large datasets, we recommend uploading a series of files that are 100 GB or less. This will make the upload process easier to manage, and will also enable users to more easily work with your files.
      • TIP: For datasets with a large number of files (>100), we recommend compressing your upload(s) using the ZIP and/or GZIP format. ZIP files may work best for users working on PCs. GZIP may work best for Linux users and those working with AWS big data solutions
   2. Scripts: Optionally, upload any scripts related to your dataset.

​All required inputs are shown with red asterisk.
