Location: India		I think the poor participation levels are due to the lack of feedback/ discussion regarding such events.
One way I can suggest to improve participation is to discuss the approaches used to find solutions after the competition is over.

Another problem is that these problems are open ended, so you never know whether your solution is the optimal one.
Maybe participants could share their most optimal answer (only value not solution) so that it drives others with lower answers are driven to try for better.
This is a grey area and I am not sure whether this is allowed within the competition rules.

These are the problems which have personally driven me away from optimization challenges, and I have not participated in even one event.
But this time around I will make an honest effort to participate and do well.

Location: India		I think they dont share the values midway...but they do tell how many "improvements/optimizations" were made in the last 24 hours at user level...which gives only a vague idea.
