Questions About Competitions

Yes, while the programme is a draft. Change it in Programme Settings, under Event type. Once the first application arrives the type is fixed, but you can still rename the people and things it uses.

No. People in the team finder show their name, institution, skills and what they are looking for. Others reach them through an invitation or a join request.

A checkpoint can stay open for a late period of up to 7 days. Work sent then is marked Late, so judges and organisers can see it.

No. Prizes are captions on your event page, and naming a winner records who is named. IdeaScore never handles, holds or pays prize money.
