Introduction

This guide tells you how to use Sledge to run a hackathon. It assumes that you have already deployed Sledge and have admin privileges to it. I strongly suggest you read about Sledge's Flow before continuing.

Phase 1: Pre-hackathon Phase

This phase is all about setting up for the upcoming hackathon.

Pre-Reqs:

• A hackathon needs to have been created with the POST /api/admin/hackathon endpoint.
  • For HackRU, this should have been done already.

Instructions

1. From the admin dashboard, select the hackathon. You should now be on your hackathon's admin dashboard. You dashboard consists of:
   • Changing Hackathon Phases

Toggling Hackathon Phases

2. Set the hackathon season (ex. Spring 2021).
3. Set the categories for this hackathon. Categories are topics that teams can base their hacks on.
   • NOTE: Each category should have one or more prizes associated to it.
4. Set the criteria for each category. Criteria are standards by which a hack should be evaluated.
5. You're all set for the upcoming hackathon!

Phase 2: Submissions Phase
