- One submission. One Devpost project per team, submitted by Saturday 10:00 PM. Late projects are not judged.
- Your work is yours. Your team owns what it builds.
- Build responsibly. Include two lines on how your tool could be misused and how you limit that.
- Code of conduct. Respect everyone. Harassment of any kind results in removal. Report concerns to any organizer.

- Staying overnight. Rooms stay open. Tell the help desk you’re staying, and look out for each other.
