A next-generation hackathon peer judging platform. Create events, add projects, and vote fairly in a manner that prioritizes fairness. Projects are shown randomly to prevent bias, and the UI/UX are designed to make the experience all in all much easier for the user. The voting system is based on an ELO rating system that prevents ties and is easy, fast, and fun to use.
