Rules
Ten rules, and one of them is about cheating
Read these before the event. Most disputes on the day come from the first four.
- 01Teams of 3 to 5 members, primarily first and second year students.
- 02Every team starts with exactly 1,000 TechCoins. No team starts ahead.
- 03One device may be signed in per team at a time. Signing in elsewhere ends the earlier session.
- 04All timers are run by the server. Refreshing your browser will not restart or extend a clock.
- 05Answers, bids and decisions lock the moment you submit them. There are no take-backs.
- 06A Double Down is committed before the question is shown, and it is charged whether or not you answer.
- 07You cannot bid or spend TechCoins you do not have. Coins committed to a live bid are held until that lot closes.
- 08Organisers may freeze the leaderboard at any point. When frozen, nobody sees the standings — including through the app.
- 09Sharing answers between teams, using a second account, or attempting to interfere with the platform means disqualification.
- 10Organiser decisions on scoring and disputes are final.
