Hi André,
I apologize for any confusion that the email you received may have caused, let me do my best to clarify everything here:
There were a few submissions that were submitted on Nov. 1st and Nov. 2nd that were incorrectly disqualified today with the same message that you received. The mistakenly disqualified submissions have been requalified and their owners have been notified.
I spent some time investigating as to why yours was disqualified, and while the changed capital base does not apply to your algo, it seems that it was submitted after the Nov. 2nd 9:30AM deadline of Contest 11. Unfortunately, this means that your algo will have to remain disqualified from that contest. We do our best to apply the same rules to everyone who enters the contest, so we are strict about deadline times.
Regarding your comment about your algorithm not being submitted to the new contest, in the forum post, we announced that no submissions entered prior to November 20th would be rolled over to the new contest beginning Dec. 1st.
I apologize for how late this notification was sent to you, as well as for the fact that you received the wrong message. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask either by replying here, or by emailing in to [email protected].
