During the in-person events, each DApp submission cannot be started until the event officially begins and will receive an overall score between 0 - 20, based on an average taken from each Judge’s scorings. The panel will be marking the contestants on a strict criteria as follows;
- Utilization of EOSIO Blockchain technology (5pts)
