How does Intellectual Property work in competitions like these? Are the entrants allowed to use proprietary methods? Do they give up IP by participating? Do the hosts of competitions gain any rights to IP or its usage?

We also have private competitions that do not appear to you unless you're invited. In these competitions hosts can offer appearance fees just for participating as well as access to more restricted data.
