All intellectual property created remains with the teams.
Teams can be anywhere from 1-­4 participants.
Judging & prizes:
Teams will have 3 minutes each to present their hacks.
Sponsors will judge and provide their own prizes.
A judges panel will rate each presentation for the overall awards.
Grand prize eligibility:
With the Travel Channel as our title sponsor, it's only fitting that eligibility for the grand prize be that an app have some kind of travel or
adventure aspect to it. So dust off your location based skills and seek out some APIs that put a sense of adventure into whatever it is
you plan to develop. Travel and adventure is not required to be eligible for other sponsor prizes, but your shot at all the marbles
depends on it.'

As this is an official event on site at The 2013 International CES, all participants must be registered for the conference. The hackathon
requires no entry fee, however, the CES conference is currently $100 and increases to $200 on January 2nd.
