How do I register?

Select your city from the list. Registration is open 24/7. All nationalities regardless of city location are welcomed. May the best hack team advance.

How is the hack structured?

Battle Hacks are full of 24+ hours of awesome stuff. In general, on Day 1 registration opens, you arrive, scope and share skills, create teams, meet judges, and then hacking begins. Add food, food and more food all the way till day 2. You hack thru the night, grab a nap, beer break, maybe even a massage, and on Day 2, we have more hacking, more food, until hacking ends around noon. Then judging begins & prizes are awarded.
