Can my friend compete even if they didn’t sign up and/or get a confirmation email?
Unfortunately, we will not accept party crashers this time around. Any accessibility to outsiders will conclude in the termination of your VIP access pass and team project.
One of my team members was not able to sign up to #Codechella on time and now the RSVP is closed, can you accept one more guest?
Unfortunately, our event is SOLD OUT. If your teammate was able to get onto the waitlist, we’ll review those after all eligible candidates have been confirmed. Entry is not guaranteed until they get a confirmation email.
The requirement is a minimum of 2 hackers per team. What if I’m a solo hacker? How can I find a team?
We’ve got you! We will have a slack channel for "solo-hackers" and a team building activity to find more teammates.
What if I’m not an engineer?
This hackathon is for #everyone and you can still contribute to a project in many ways. However, your team still needs to submit a demo video and a public code repository.
What if my Twitter account is locked and I’m not able to get access to Twitter API?
