# How to get involved
#### Competition Topics
When a Competition Provider has a problem they want to solve, the process is straightforward. The challenge is used in the competition as it is, or with modifications (if the company does not want to publicly disclose their own challenges), according to the needs of the Competition Provider.
#### The steps to join the competition
The steps for a data scientist to participate in a competition are fairly straightforward. First, they register their email address on the respective Infrastructure Provider's platform or web interface. Once the registration is complete, they can access the competition data by accepting the NDA for the ongoing competition and participate. Please note that it is not possible to register multiple accounts using the same email address, and participating in competitions with multiple accounts using multiple email addresses is strictly prohibited. Additional security measures are listed as part of the “Anti-exploit measures” section.
In order to enter a competition, each Data Scientist wishing to participate would be required to deposit or stake a set amount of BGR tokens. After the end of each competition, each participating data scientist will receive a portion of their staked BGR back by way of a tiered ranking system. The amount of BGR returned will vary per competition.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.bitgrit.ai/bgr-network/competitions/how-to-get-involved.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
