About the Hackathon

Every commit is a battle!

CLASH OF COMMITS

Build Your Clan. Prepare for War. Claim the Crown.

The kingdom is calling. The battlefield is open. Is your clan ready?

Clash of Commits is not your usual hackathon. It's a clan-based coding battlefield where ideas become weapons, code becomes your arsenal, and only the strongest clans make it to the crown.

Gather your squad of 4-5 members, bring your boldest ideas, and prepare to battle through three rounds of innovation. Build your base, survive the raid, and fight your way into the Arena Finals!

One battlefield. 120 clans. One crown.

THE ROAD TO THE CROWN

Three rounds. Two Clan Wars. One ultimate champion.

ROUND 1: BUILD YOUR BASE

Online | Idea Submission

Every legendary kingdom starts with a strong foundation. This is where your clan makes its first move.

Submit a 10-slide idea deck showcasing:

  • The problem you're setting out to solve.
  • Who you're building for.
  • Your proposed solution.
  • Your technology stack.
  • Your execution and build plan.

Every submission will be evaluated, and the top 120 clans will earn their place in the offline battlefield.

Build wisely. Your journey starts here.

ROUND 2: THE RAID

Offline | 24-Hour Hackathon

The shortlisted clans enter campus for an intense 24-hour building showdown. Turn your ideas into working solutions, tackle problem statements, collaborate with mentors, and make every second count.

But the battlefield has its own economy: ELIXIR.

Once the code freeze hits, it's time for CLAN WAR I.

Judges evaluate every submission based on innovation, technical depth, impact, and execution. Only the top 8 clans survive the raid and advance to the Arena Finals.

ROUND 3: ARENA FINALS

Offline | The Ultimate Pitch Battle

Eight clans enter. Only one walks away with the crown.

Welcome to CLAN WAR II.

The top 8 clans face off in a knockout pitching bracket. Present your solution, demonstrate what you've built, and convince the judges why your clan deserves the throne.

With a live audience, high-stakes presentations, and an audience vote, every pitch matters.

The final showdown is the CROWN MATCH — where the last two contenders battle it out to determine the ultimate champion.
