overall rules

'rules' with a lowercase 'r'

we're more focused on inspiring and empowering new builders in the ecosystem, and less concerned about holding you to a rigid set of guidelines. if the pot grows large, and a lot is at stake, we can keep an open ended conversation going around what exactly constitutes 'breaking the rules' and any of those ugly, hopefully unnecessary, things. our role in this competition will be a bit hands off, we'll provide you resources, and provide workshops and pep talks, but this is a whole lot more about you!

we want to see what people come up with when someone else is telling you to just take your work to the grindstone and get shit done! we're excited to see what the community comes up with. let's play fair, and most importantly, let's have a good time!
