Run the whole event on one platform, not five stitched together

Registration, teams, prepared workspaces, automated scoring, judging and a live leaderboard — built around coding events rather than bent out of generic event-management software. Participants write code in minute two, not after an hour of environment support.

Sign-ups that take thirty seconds

Each event gets a public landing page of its own with magic-link registration, so a participant is in with an email address and nothing else. Teams form on the platform, and each team gets a workspace the moment it exists.

  • A public landing page per event
  • Magic-link registration, anonymous-first
  • OAuth sign-in as an option, not a requirement
  • Team formation with a workspace per team
  • Several parallel tracks from one event
  • Sponsor branding and prize tiers on the page

Every team starts ready to code

Teams do not spend the first two hours installing things. Their Code Lab is pre-baked with the toolchain the event actually needs, identical for everyone, so the leaderboard measures ideas rather than who had the right laptop.

  • Code Labs pre-baked with the event toolchain
  • The same environment for every team
  • An editor and a terminal in the cloud, opened from any browser
  • Databases and services attached where the brief needs them
  • Nothing for a participant to install to get started — and no limit on what they install after that
  • A terminal on the container, so a team can pip- or npm-install whatever their idea needs
  • Mentors and staff can drop into a team workspace

Heavy compute, on somebody else’s budget if you like

Events that need GPUs or large models can dispatch that work to your own cloud credits or a sponsor’s, with the spend attributed to whoever agreed to pay it. Per-team caps mean the budget holds without anybody policing it in a spreadsheet.

  • Dispatch heavy compute to your own or a sponsor’s cloud credits
  • Sponsor-funded credit allocation with clean attribution
  • Per-team cost caps that stop rather than warn
  • Spend visible live, per team and per track
  • A one-off Day Pass for a single event, or a recurring tier

Automated and human scoring, in one ranking

Submissions are endpoints, and they are verified against hidden test payloads the moment they land — so a submission that does not run cannot win on presentation. Judges score rubrics alongside, and the leaderboard combines both.

  • Endpoint submissions verified against hidden tests
  • Judges score against rubrics you define
  • Automated and judge scores combined into one ranking
  • A live leaderboard throughout the event
  • Per-track ranking as well as overall
  • The scoring rules visible to participants up front

What is left when the weekend ends

The workspaces are real environments, not scratch space that evaporates on Sunday night. A winning project can keep running on a URL, and a participant who wants to carry on has something to carry on with.

  • Projects keep running on a real URL after the event
  • Participants keep the code they wrote
  • Results and scoring exportable for the write-up
  • Sponsors get attribution against what their credits ran
  • The event configuration is reusable for the next one

The three weeks before, in order

  1. Set the event up — Landing page, tracks, prize tiers, sponsors, and the toolchain every team should start with.
  2. They register and form teams — Magic link, a team, and a prepared workspace — no environment support desk required.
  3. Submit, score, rank — Hidden tests verify what was built; judges score the rest; the leaderboard is live throughout.

Questions organisers ask

Do participants need accounts?

Only an email address. Registration is magic-link and anonymous-first; OAuth sign-in is available if you would rather have it.

Can a sponsor pay for the compute?

Yes. Compute can be dispatched to a sponsor’s cloud credits with the spend attributed to them, and per-team caps keep it inside what was agreed.

How is cheating or a broken submission handled?

Submissions are verified against hidden test payloads rather than taken on trust, so a project that does not actually run scores as one that does not actually run.

Do we have to buy a subscription for one weekend?

No. A one-off Day Pass covers a single event; the recurring tiers are for organisations that run several a year.

An event is a lot of software to assemble in a fortnight. This is the assembly, done once, so the work you do is the programme rather than the plumbing.
