Team Registration

Your team needs to be registered by 11:30pm on Saturday (3/23). Don’t worry, you do not have to have your whole project done by this time. This is just to make sure your team is registered on Devpost. You will have until 9:00am on Sunday to fully submit your project.

Submission

Your project needs to be finalized by 9:00am on Sunday! No edits should be made to your project after that time. Make sure you have at least the following:

  • Project Title and Description
  • Challenges/Tracks you are submitting to
  • Demo Video (should ONLY be a demo, maximum of 2 minutes)

Submission Rules

Any violation of these rules will result in immediate disqualification of your team and project

 

  • 4 hackers maximum per team (anything less including 1 is okay but we encourage finding a full team as you can get a lot more done with 4 people!)
  • Only submit to HackTheChains — projects that submit to other hackathons will be disqualified
  • All code must be uploaded BEFORE the deadline and linked to Devpost — project demos with a working product yet have no code uploaded will be disqualified
  • Public frameworks and libraries are allowed, but submitting only copied code will result in project disqualification
  • Each hacker is only allowed to be a part of and create one project during this hackathon
  • There is no limit on the number of challenges you can submit to, but keep in mind that you should focus on one or a small set of challenges to maximize your chances of winning!
  • Anything presented at judging should only be worked on from 9:00pm on Friday to 9:00am on Sunday.
    • There should be no coding or building before 9:00 pm on Friday.
    • However you can ideate beforehand with your team!
