\n\n# What are the rules?\n\n- **Read the [official Build-A-Bull rules](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aoeFf3bA_tomRIDhGhy4v61dj6LEv1Hr/view).** We strongly recommend that all participants familiarize themselves with the official guidelines.\n- **Know the team size limit.** Our team limit is five members. Stick to the rules to avoid disqualification.\n- **Understand the evaluation criteria.** Take the time to thoroughly understand how the judges will evaluate your project. Align your project with the criteria to maximize your chances of winning.\n- **Build within the hackathon tracks. Ensure that your project aligns with one of the tracks listed below. Judges are more likely to favor projects that fit the theme well and address specific challenges.**\n- **No copying or plagiarism.** Do not copy code, ideas, or projects from others, as this can lead to disqualification.\n- **Always be respectful. Be professional and help us foster a positive environment between the participants, judges, mentors, and organizers.**\n\n# Do I need to register?\n\n\n\nYes, please register when you decide you would like to take part. Registration will provide access to team formation information and exclusive Office Hours with world-class Algorand developers and Web3 pros. If you’re on a team, you will still need to register as an individual in order to be eligible for the prizes. You don’t need to include any of your project details at this time. After you register, we will send you information via email on how to submit your project.\n\n# Is participation in Build-A-Bull limited to newly launched projects, and what are the eligibility criteria for winning?\n\n\n\nBuild-A-Bull focuses on supporting new initiatives that have not yet secured external funding. To qualify for the Build-A-Bull hackathon, projects should not have initiated their development process more than six months prior to the hackathon's starting date. However, if you have previously developed, are in the process of developing, or have garnered venture investment for a different Algorand-based project, you remain eligible to participate and claim victory. Participants must indicate in the application form whether their project incorporates any pre-existing code. Teams are also obliged to disclose all pertinent details about such work.\n\nPlease note that the term \"pre-existing code\" does not include open-source code authored by third parties. We encourage participants to integrate existing Algorand protocols and other open-source resources into their projects.\n\n# How are projects evaluated?\n\nThe hackathon is scored out of 100 and judged on the following criteria.\n\n\n\n
