Submission History

Rules & Scoring Methodology

Round Score

Each round is scored from 0–100 based on four weighted components:

Information Coefficient (IC)(40%)

Rank correlation between your predictions and actual returns

Sharpe Ratio(20%)

Risk-adjusted return of your prediction portfolio

Consistency(20%)

Cross-round stability and hit rate

Participation(10%)

Submitting consistently across rounds

Code Quality(10%)

Bonus for submitting reproducible research code

Quanta Score (0–1000)

Your overall QuantX score is a rolling 52-week weighted average. Recent 26 weeks count for 60%, older 26 weeks for 30%, and participation consistency for 10%. Score decays 5% per month of inactivity.

Submission Rules

  • Maximum 5 submissions per round — only the last submission is scored
  • Predictions must be for all 50 Nifty 50 stocks in the correct order
  • No look-ahead bias: models must only use data available before the round opens
  • All submissions are SHA-256 hashed for integrity verification

Fair Play & Anti-Cheating

  • Collusion or sharing of predictions is strictly prohibited
  • Automated detection systems flag submissions with suspicious correlation
  • Prize winners must verify their methodology via code review
  • Violations result in disqualification and permanent ban from QuantX

Tiebreakers

In the event of a tie, rankings are determined by: (1) higher IC, (2) higher Sharpe ratio, (3) earlier first submission timestamp.
