I am using Kaggle both for learning and submissions and because they now provide for free notebooks with 4 CPU cores and 30GB RAM and I am lazy person to go elsewhere, I have created workaround using Oracle Cloud compute node (always free! 
), installed Kaggle public API, running cron triggering execution of Kaggle notebooks at expected round openning. Inside of the notebooks I wait for openning of given round.
