Hackathon organizer heyamandam proposes a new judging format now that AI has sharply increased viable submissions: step 1, split participants into small groups that each review a subset of submissions (peer evaluation); step 2, the picks go to the main judges for final judging. Citing a one-hour hack with 40 submissions, she says this eases reviewer burden and lets participants see what everyone built.
