#BUIDL Fair & Judging

All hackers must vacate the tables in the main stage area at 9:00am
Your team will be assigned a table number viewable at ethsanfrancisco.com/judging
Set up at your assigned table between 9:30am-10:00am. Your team must be fully set-up by 10:00am.
Please write your project name and a short description of your project on your table card
Judges will visit each of the tables starting with 1 and continuing until reaching the end of each row. Please ensure your full team is present at your table when the judges reach your table.
Before/After judging, your team is invited to walk around and meet other teams, learning about their projects.
When the judges arrive at your table, please greet them briefly (<1 min) and shortly after, a timekeeper accompanying the judges will start a timer on a device facing you to help you pace your presentation. When the alarm rings, no additional conversation regarding your project can take place. This alarm is a hard stop for the sake of fairness.
You will have a total of 7 minutes with the judges. This is very strict and rewards teams who are able to efficiently communicate and demonstrate their project. We suggest allocating approximately 5 minutes to your presentation and 2 minutes to judge questions.
The top 10 projects will be notified between 1-1:30pm and will be invited to present their project on the main stage during the closing ceremony, starting at 1:30pm.
