[evaal contest] Two questions on deploying a system for track1 (localization)

[Stefan Knauth]

Dear Paolo,

I also think that we should keep the quite practical and fair rule to 
start the deployment time measurement when the competitor enters the lab 
respectively starts installation or measurement activities.

Does that mean that there will be some extra time ?
or will there be a new annex with new position information ?

best regards,
Stefan
