How long did it take you between adding the email address and being able to join the group?
Seeing the same thing now, I added an email address and verified it, but I'm still not allowed to join the group.

It didn't take long at all for me after verification. Although I have sometimes randomly gotten that error message. Interestingly, sometimes it actually had joined the group anyway. The site has been a little glitchy off and on, but it's working for me right now.
> Your email address is not linked to a Yahoo ID. To join this group, you need to link your email address to a Yahoo account.
When I click "link your email address", it just takes me to a page called "Personal info" which doesn't have any obvious way to link my email address.
So I'm not sure how to proceed.
EDIT: Solved it. I had initially only "verified" the account with a phone number, but you have to add an email address as well. It's now working.
For anyone who, like me, signed up for this and filled in the Google form, but then couldn't find the leaderboard URL after closing the tab, it is https://df58.host.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/yahoogroups/leaderboar...
It seems to be working through a list in reverse alphabetical order. Watching the progress being made is quite satisfying. When I started it was on groups like "sciencefiction" and now it's moved on to "petzluverz".
