In The Tournament Team Activity Area, What Do Ready, Uploaded and Waiting Mean?

As they upload decisions, participants have an opportunity to notify instructors that their decisions are final. This can facilitate simulation progress if the rounds are not scheduled. Uploaded means at least one set of decisions has been sent, but it is not necessarily the final set of decisions. If a round is processed, either automatically or manually, Uploaded decisions will be used even if they are not marked final. If teams have not uploaded (shown as Waiting), the simulation will process the last set of decisions from the previous round.
