Rules
R01 · Daimon is the required tool. The managed version or a self-hosted open-source install both count.

R03 · Track 01 submits an analysis of the provided dataset: findings, models, and charts.
R04 · Track 02 submits a published blog post that links back to PyMC Labs. Public data sources only. No scraping.
R05 · Track 03 submits a pull request to a PyMC library. A merged PR wins the track.
R06 · Every finding must include the code and data that produced it.
R07 · One Devpost entry per team: track, repo or notebook, the post or PR link, and a written description. Partial submissions are not accepted.
R08 · Submit on Devpost by 1:30 PM Eastern on October 10, 2026 — no extensions.
Work must be created during the event. You may use existing open-source libraries and public data, and you keep ownership of what you build. By submitting you allow PyMC Labs to show your entry and team name on the event site and in event recaps. Judging criteria and scoring are on the Judging tab; a minimum of 15 out of 25 points is required to qualify for prizes.
