For coaches and the jury

​

Coaches

• Every team’s chat, on the Chats page, beside the general channel. Post in a team’s chat like any member of it; the team, the other coaches and the organizers read it, no other team does.
• Every team’s help requests. A participant opens a request for their team, a one-line title and what they need. Claim it, so the other coaches know it is taken, and answer in its thread. Let it go with an unclaim when someone else should take it. A member of the team resolves it when it is sorted; the thread then reads only, until someone reopens the request.
• Every team’s repository, read-only. When the organizers put your GitHub username on the roster, GitHub invites you to read each team’s repository. Accept the invitations (by email, or on github.com/notifications), then clone or pull any team’s code to help them. You cannot push to it.
• The Home page, with the clock and the notices every participant sees, and the Teams page with each team’s demo deck and presentation once they are handed in.

The jury

• the Teams page: every team, with its Demo deck and its Presentation, the two Slideless links the team handed in. The demo deck is written to be played alone, step by step, before or after the pitch;
• the Vote page’s leaderboard, once the organizers have released the community result. The jury never casts a ballot: the community vote is the participants’, and nothing combines it with the jury’s scoring.
