However, if there is an emergency, please consult with the X24 Org committee and they will make a decision. Variable members can leave office premises – but note the time restrictions mentioned above.
-
Can a variable/substitute participant, who has left office premises during the X24 time period, join the team again?"Yes, as long as the rules of substitution and travel time (as mentioned above) are followed.
-
If any member becomes unavailable on 24-25 Aug because of a personal or medical emergency; can a team replace that member with a new member on the hackathon day?No, this is not allowed. After the team announcement deadline, team changes are not allowed. If any member becomes unavailable on the hackathon day because of a personal or medical emergency then that respective team will have to work without that member.
-
What if a team does not use all three substitutes?Not using substitutes will have a negative impact on the teams' overall performance.
-
Can a substitute member work outside of the hackathon area?As per the code of conduct, all the teams are expected to only use the services of their team members that are present on the hackathon floor. Do not ask your substitute team members or any other house member to work on code/design/research if they are not in the active team at the given time. Failure to comply with this will result in your team being disqualified from the event.
