Important: Sunday Morning Update
Good morning Launch Hackers!
First, you are awesome and you will finish. You can do it – we know you will!
Here is how today's submissions and judging will work:
1) Deadline 1pm
You need to submit your entry on the Launch Hackathon ChallengePost site before the 1pm deadline in order to be eligible for prizes. We've asked you to create a draft already so that we can get a sense of the numbers of submission, but creating a draft is NOT the same as submitting your entry.

Important: Saturday night update
Hi Launch hackers!
Some important info and reminders:

Quick Update from @jason
I'm super excited that we've broken 900 participants in the fifth LAUNCH Hackathon -- we're closing registration! We're done!
It's going to be epic... here's a couple of housekeeping things:
1/It's going to be a lot of fun, but this is businesss hackathon NOT a party. We're all here to learn, do seriously kick-ass work and win prizes -- as well as have a good time.
2/No spectators: if you don't code or you don't design you will be bounced from the event. Every year a couple of folks try to sneak in to do recruiting, sales or other annoying…
