Would be nice for the next season to have a tutorial on the forum explaining how to use Shasta and Nile Testnets (with screenshots) and where to get the tokens for dApp testing

With 6 projects for a gamefi track it feels unfair.
Why can’t we have pro-rata allocation.
For example, we have 105 projects in all and 25 projects are to win the forum prize.
This means 24% of the projects shall win.
We can distribute the prizes for the track in the following manner:-
Category-Total Projects- Winning projects
Web3-28 - Top 7
DeFi-26-Top 6
GameFi-6- Top 2
NFT-24- Top 5
Academy-19- Top 5
Ecosystem - 21 - Top 5
This should be fair for all the projects as the track selection will not be gamed.
Now, the question of changing the rules comes into question which could be handled by the line that has been mentioned on Devpost. 
Just a suggestion, it’s a bold decision but for unique situation where we have only 6 projects for a track and at least 5 are going to win a prize from judges it shall be passed to another project. This redistribution shall act as an encouragement to already shortlisted projects.
Apologies to GameFi project members, trying to interrupt the party.
This will help the projects to sit up, if we try to make it easy always, lessons will not be learnt, as they feel the heat today, they will come prepared tomorrow. The 6 gamefi project was selected from 28 submissions, they passed through fire and they deserve to be there, NFTs had 54 submissions, now left with 24.
If we try to always bend the rules, lessons will never be learnt. Let the gamefi enjoy, they didnt get there on a silver platter. Dont pour sand into their jollof rice. 
I am loving this season more
Good work team
Last season, bot votes were cleared off. I believe this season too there are measures put in place to check that.
@TronLive i think it has to go deeper than giving grants as funds to the winners of the Hackerton though it improves the tron ecosystem yet I think that they has to be some improvement in the site navigation, give peeps a reason to continue using the system despite after winning and that means including exposing or pushing out the winners and projects adjudged to be sound to the world to attract other potential investors in those projects and partners
This is a new season with it’s own new challenges which includes i think should include proper scrutiny of projects, votes and participants. Like someone stated earlier that if we keep bending the rules then no one will learn. Big ups to @justrugnft which took the NFT project stuff to another level. We hope to see more of this and to see peeps like this really encouraged to do more

I see what you mean, but I think we should be careful with changing rules afterwards. Also, since this is a hackathon on devpost which is a company that is very strict with their rules, I’m pretty sure trondao is not allowed to change rules with regard to prices afterwards

But it is a suggestion which could benefit different project.
Great job @admin.hackathon @TronLive with doing a filter before voting !
One suggestion is to set up a feedback mechanism where projects are informed of their selection / rejection ( with primary reason) with a 2-3 day window to rectify ! Since there are many projects and there are projects who have different native languages it is a possibility that there might be communication gaps! This window helps legit projects not having a heartburn 
. Also this communication helps legit projects work on shortcomings and create greater things for the ecosystem.

Voting is ongoing, this time around you can vote for 3 projects in each section. After clicking on your favorite project, make you you scroll down to click on vote to confirm your vote
Yes…that is needed in upcoming hackathon seasons, so that projects can get a valid feedback as to what went wrong…they deserve to know that atleast

Changing rules during the race is always a bad idea. Let’s take this as a hint for S4: we need more good GameFi projects developed.

Welcome @nityaan
Contribute more to get a chance
I agree with this. Hackathon prize is like or is a startup fund for winners. So we should be able to see some development especially to help the #Tron ecosystem

I agree to and even if not days prior to the voting, they should be some reasons stated clear to help them in subsequent #tron-hackathon

I think too 
Letting teams know what they have to change, add,… and giving them 2 days to either comply with the requirements or be disqualified.
Now an other thing is, every team should be aware of those requirements when they sign up to the hackathon. The rules have been published before the application period even started. For some projects I don’t even understand why they are surprised.
For other teams I can understand why they are surprised since there is no clear definition of what’s a significative improvements. @Sirluke and myself have shared our own definitions above. I hope it can help to give a more accurate idea of what a significative improvement is or should be

Agree 
… a specific checklist of ‘significant development’ can be added in the rules for S4 making the process more objective

If those ones don’t act surprised, how do they sell the “i have been cheated” slogan
