HackerNest Construct 2014: Rules  

HackerNest CONSTRUCT prizes fundamental quality over superficialness. We want you to spark innovation, make new friends, and blow the box apart, not cheat the system. Here’s a host of simple rules to follow. The overarching mantra – play fair, be respectful, and have fun. We’ll update this soon.

Teams of 1 to 5 hackers can participate. We encourage a 3 to 4 person team with at least 2 technical team members.

Like underwear, your code and hacks should be fresh. No cheating, use any API, but build code on site please.

Only functional apps and hacks will demo. You just can’t win with a snazzy powerpoint. And your demo has to, well, demo.

Code reviews will most likely happen. Check your code in regularly, and know that although you own your intellectual property, we get to check what you’ve done and when you’ve done it.

You must not smell bad. Please use contemporary, new age cleaning and masking techniques to counter overodiousness.

Be ultra-competitive, but play nice and don’t be a douche. This is the most basic of all human interaction that we will uphold without prejudice and we will hold ourselves to the moral pillars that lets your unfettered creativity blossom.

So simple it hurts. Happy hacking everyone.
