## Timeframe of Hackathons

The Hackathons do not end after brcon2023. But the scoring will.
Ideas prevail, they cannot be destroyed.

## Scoring System

The whole system is described here:

You can always see the current scoring list here:

16:12:50     annna | __20h__, gophers://bitreich.org/1/con/2023/score

The referee is __20h__, who has the power to add scores to the list.
