Age limit for Qoantopian Open?

Do the winners of the quantopian open just get awarded the prize money at the end of the six months, or do they also have to take legal responsibility for the trades their algos make (in which case they would have to 18+)?

You can find the answer to that question, and more, by checking the Quantopian Open page and the Quantopian Open's Rules page.

I'll save you the click and tell you that participants must be at least 18 years old or older at the time of entry.
