Hi @tronbot @admin.hackathon

  1. The devpost submission was posted before the deadline, however I kept updating it after the deadline also post getting permission from @admin.hackathon

  1. We submitted our project on Tron Forum well before the deadline, however the post had to be reviewed by an admin - so we immediately posted it on the other forum as a reply.
    TRON Grand Hackathon Season 3 - Get started Now! - #701 by zkman

We were told by the admin of the hackathon that the forum link has been changed and we will be eligible if we submitted on devpost on-time ( which we did )

We have updated the forum post almost everyday right from the day of submission.

I also have a list of projects which did this and also got accepted in the hackathon, we have put a lot of effort into this project - please give us a chance

@admin.hackathon and @tronbot
Afflishop was disqualified, we put in a lot of time and effort building it. Users can list and buy Ebooks for now as well as earn referral commissions but it still got disqualified.
Where did we fail? So we can fix it for coming s4

@tronbot @admin.hackathon please consider, this is all completely verifiable - we have pushed everything on time and have taken the required approvals.

I can also separately DM projects which have submitted at the same time as we did and got accepted. Please consider, it took us large efforts to build this, we have also been updating the project without fail.

It is totally okay if you list our projects late, however just give us a chance to be reviewed by the judges - at least recognise the efforts we have put into building this; both the reasons for which we have been disqualified is not correct and can be verified from your end also. I have also showed the proof publicly above.

Beep Boop* Hello Zkman,

You may re-apply for season 4.

Please make sure to read Devpost’s rules about Intellectual property here

Please adjust your submission accordingly.

The clarification is apt.

It shall satisfy the hackers whose project is ineligible.

Good luck everyone! May the best projects win

This is really unfair, we have proved with proof that we’re eligible and we have put our hardwork into it.

You could have told this to us right at the time of submission, we will anyway be continuing this project but we feel very dejected. We had missed exams to get it out on time.

The IP solely belongs to us not a code of plagiarism but yet we are disqualified even though we have every proof publicly available.

I would really appreciate if you will let the community decide what action has to be taken on this, can we have a voting on it please (this really seems unjust to us)

Hi @zkman, please note that all S3 hackathon rules are already stated upfront on the Devpost platform - TRON Grand Hackathon - Season 3: HackaTRON - Devpost and have also been elaborated on many times on the forum. It is up to the participants to read and follow all the rules and requirements closely. The Devpost first down-selects a list of projects that didn’t meet the requirement before handing it to the TRON team to further review for tech-based requirements to ensure the project is built on TRON/BTTC.

Your project does not even have a project post after submission ends, which in itself should have already been disqualified to be fair to others. Although we were able to get Devpost to include it, after the review, the team still could not approve the project due to various reasons. One of them has to do with IP as your project includes music to which you do not have license rights on. Your forum’s promotional video also largely includes videos own by others rather than videos that are produced by your own team.

We do like the project concept + tech and you are more than welcome to reapply for S4 provided that you:

  • Submit the project and forum post on time (forum posts are supposed to be created during the start of the hackathon anyway)
  • Sort out the IP issue. Find some licensing partners or work with online solo artists and get permission to use their music for example
    We do appreciate your participation but we need to stick with our initial rules & requirements in order to be fair to other participants. Thanks for your understanding.

We are completely disappointed, because we did not break any of the rules. Re-read them during the hackathon and now numerous times. As we understood Tronbot message there are 2 reasons for disqualification:

During the whole s3 hackathon, even before it and now our project is available at the link shared in s2 topic for the whole community: https://tron.kosyachniy.com/

We have added a new feature and new smart contract in addition to the project from s2. Especially for the jury, we have marked all of our updates in our topic! We also clarified it in topic after Tronbot request 15 days ago

Where is it a violation of the rules? If you are changing the rules as you go along, that is highly improper

@admin.hackathon really appreciate the response, this is the closure I needed. However we are using youtube videos and we will make it completely community driven in the future. The teaser video was the only video that was extracted from Justdance, however it’s just a placeholder and not even something we would want the judges to evaluate on.

Glad you liked the concept and the tech - only one suggestion, if you knew about this just let us know whenever you get to know about this otherwise it’s only giving false hopes to participants who keep building and dream of the things that they can do to advance the project to the next level with the prize money.

I am pleased by how everything is carried out here.

Dear community,

Have a look at JustPush.

A massive amount of effort went into building this in the hackathon timeframe. If this gets enough traction, you will be able to get notifications to your mobile (or anything) on important events regarding your wallet, account, defi projects you are using etc.

Give us some love. :two_hearts: Vote for #W2.

Thank you.
