DUDE: RRC submission system being upgraded

As of today, it is not yet possible to send submissions for the DUDE competition as the RRC submission system is being updated. 
We expect this to resolve shortly and we suggest that participants use the provided standalone scripts for evaluating their systems on the current live validation set.
Once the submission system is live and the blind test set (only questions) is online, we will update all competitors.
