How the season runs

From sign-up to the leaderboard, five steps.

  1. Register once

    One account opens events across the START Network. Sign up for the season, then enter any hackathon on the map.

  2. Apply to a hackathon

    Apply or sign up for an event. Once in, join a team with a code, find one, or enter solo.

  3. Take on cases

    Each event releases its own cases when it goes live. Pick one and start building against the clock.

  4. Ship a submission

    One shared submission per team. Case partners pick a winner for each case, then the organisers confirm the podium, sometimes after a community vote.

  5. Earn points

    League events write your points to the season on results. Climb the individual leaderboard across every chapter.
