1. The Artist's Own Hand. All code must be written during the hackathon. Open-source libraries and APIs are fine if credited.
2. No Forgery. Don't copy other teams' work or submit work by anyone outside your team.
3. Honor Among Rivals. Don't interfere with other teams' work, devices, or demos.
4. Chronicle Thy Progress. Push to a shared repo regularly. Large last-minute commits or a repo history that predates the event may be flagged.
5. Chivalry and Courtesy. Treat everyone with respect. Harassment means disqualification, and the judges' decision is final.
