Regarding Stage 2 evaluation

Learn-to-Race: Autonomous Racing Virtual Challenge
#1

The documentation states that during stage 2, the teams will upload their models “with initialization”, this model will have 1 hour of training time to learn the new track and then it will be evaluated on that track.
Does this mean that we can upload pretrained networks/models during the stage 2 as well. In not then what exactly does initialization means here?

Thanks for the note. Yes, you will be able to upload pre-trained models in Stage 2. Additionally, those models can perform further optimizer updates, through the practice period. More info here: [Round 2] Launch - Expected Date - #3 by jon_francis
