Hello,
I registered today and accepted the rules for DataCrunch Equity Market Neutral #2. My account can access the datasets, but attempting to create a new model returns the error “current round not found”. The competition header shows “Frozen”.
This happens before uploading any code or predictions, on the Create Model page.
Are new participants currently able to create models and enter the competition? Is this a temporary round transition or is there an additional step needed for a new account? If the round is unavailable, when do you expect it to become available?
Thank you.

Hello Loris,
Every weekend, we need time to run the models, which usually mean a few hours of downtime.
But for this week, it is special, see the [official announcement on Discord](https://discord.com/channels/770586873260933120/1102284485191540757/1563227488295854241).
