## What is Hackathon Host?

The all-in-one control room for hackathons, game jams, and team competitions.

Whether you run a weekend game jam or a multi-day corporate hackathon, HackathonHub takes you from registration to results without spreadsheets, group chats, or panicked "who's pitching next" moments.

Set up an event in minutes. Share one registration link. Run the day from a single cockpit. Watch the leaderboard build itself as your jury scores. Email results and certificates in one click.

— BUILT FOR EVERY ROLE —

Hosts get a white-label space — your logo, your app name, your accent colour. Your event, your brand.
Organisers run operations without touching settings.
Jury score in a structured form with draft auto-save — pause mid-team, resume later.
Mentors leave written feedback teams can read after the event.
Teams see schedule, rules, criteria, their submission, their score, every comment.
Guests spectate without clutter.

— SET UP IN MINUTES —

• Custom registration form with conditional fields
• Up to 3-tier scoring criteria with weights
• Per-event agenda, rules, themes, sponsors, rewards
• Auto-generated team logins — no manual emailing
• Pre-filled sample event so you can explore every screen before going live

— RUN THE LIVE DAY —

• Live Control cockpit: current team, pitch timer, Q&A timer, ±1 min nudge, resync
• Three projector views: leaderboard, theme reveal, "now presenting"
• Lock & unlock scoring with stragglers warning
• Issue strikes with optional weighted penalties (−2% each, capped at −10%)
• Reorder presentation queue on the fly
• Real-time updates everywhere — no refresh button

— SCORING THAT WON'T LOSE WORK —

• Sticky-final draft auto-save — every keystroke survives a closed tab
• My Scores comparison view: every team you scored, side by side
• Per-criteria comments + general impression notes per team
• Optional team acknowledgement of Rules / Agenda / Criteria before submission unlocks

— PROJECT SUBMISSIONS —

Open a window. Set a deadline. Every team uploads cover art, project name, description, engine, platform, genre, game link and pitch document. Status badges across every admin view. Lock-scoring warning lists missing teams.

— COMMUNICATION —

• In-app announcements with icons and audience filters
• Per-event email broadcasts in three languages (EN/AZ/RU)
• Send credentials, results, certificates, winners report, detailed event report (ZIP with 12 artefacts), surveys — all from one tab
• Custom-recipient sends for sponsors and partners

— SURVEYS —

Collect structured feedback from the people at your own event — participants, mentors, and jury. Build per-event questionnaires with 8 question types, share them via a link or QR code with your event's audience, and export results to XLSX with per-question summaries. Responses go only to the host, who can review and remove any entry.

— POST-EVENT —

• Reporting checklist with shareable markdown summary
• Auto-generated participation, jury, mentor, and winner certificates
• XLSX results, DOCX jury sheets, PDF analytics one-pager, PDF submissions
• Post-close access window (3/7/14/30 days) so teams keep their feedback

— PRICING —

One event credit = one event. $99 per credit, purchased at hackathonhub.xyz. New accounts start at zero — the pre-filled Sample Game Jam stays free forever so you can explore the platform before paying.
