Hi devnikhilmishra,

We'll look into it.

Hi devnikhilmishra,

Thanks for flagging this — and you're right that the wait is too long.

We checked both of your submissions. They did complete rather than getting stuck: one took about 9 hours end to end and the other about 5, both finishing successfully. The delay is queueing, not scoring — the scoring itself takes a few minutes per submission. Right now the pipeline validates and onboards submissions one at a time, and with volume as high as it's been this cycle, a submission that arrives during a busy stretch can sit for hours before its turn comes up.

That's a real constraint on your iteration speed, and your point about a biweekly format is a fair one — feedback that arrives a day later is worth much less when the cycle is two weeks long. We're going to work on the onboarding throughput; the main fix is processing several submissions in parallel rather than strictly in sequence, and we'll also look at making the wait visible so you can see where you are in the queue rather than guessing.

No action needed on your side, and nothing was lost — your results are on the board. We'll post here when the improvement lands.

Best,
NONIUS
