    also i cant undestand when is actual hackthon starts in rule - Zero-Code Integrity: All code for the MVP must be written during the 24-hour hacking period.
    what does 24 hr mean here also this - Phase 2 (24-Hour Marathon): Oct 10 (10:00 WIB) – Oct 11 (10:00 WIB). its confusing

    Hello, I apologize for the confusion regarding the rules that you haven’t fully understood yet. I’ll explain that to you:

    Regarding the specific prize amounts: The specific dollar amounts (e.g., $62, $187) are direct conversions from our official prize pool, which is based on the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). Because exchange rates fluctuate, the USD value displayed on Devpost may change slightly. If an international team wins, the prize will be distributed based on the IDR-to-USD exchange rate on the final day of the event (Winner Announcement). You can view the exact IDR nominals (such as IDR 8,000,000 for the Grand Prize) and details on additional sponsor rewards (like the $300 in Featherless credits and NordVPN subscriptions) in the official Guidebook. You can download the Guidebook from the "To-dos" section on our Devpost page.

    Regarding the 24-hour mechanism and Zero-Code Integrity: The COMPSPHERE hackathon consists of two distinct phases. Phase 1 is a preliminary round where you only submit a conceptual Idea Proposal. Please note that only the Top 30 teams that pass this Phase 1 pre-elimination round will advance to Phase 2.

    The "24-hour hacking period" refers exclusively to Phase 2 (the final execution round), which runs continuously from October 10 at 10:00 WIB until the Code Freeze on October 11 at 10:00 WIB. Because this is the final phase, it will be held offline at the President University campus. During this time, teams must strictly build and execute the exact system architecture they proposed during the online round; sudden concept pivoting is not allowed. The "Zero-Code Integrity" rule means you are strictly prohibited from using pre-existing projects. All actual programming must be done entirely within that 24-hour marathon window.

    Additionally, for participants or teams based entirely outside of Indonesia (Full International Teams), we provide the flexibility to choose whether to attend this final execution phase offline at the venue or entirely online from their home countries. For more complete details regarding team categories and Phase 2 attendance obligations, please refer to the Guidebook.
