FAQs.
I've submitted the registration form. What's the next step?
Your registration will be reviewed by our team soon. As Hack&Roll receives many applications every year, we are unfortunately unable to accept all sign-ups. We will review all applications and notify you of the outcome by email.
After registering, where do I indicate my team and teammates?
After your acceptance is confirmed, you may form teams through the dashboard on this website.
What happens if I have already formed a team, but some of my teammates did not get accepted into Hack&Roll?
Unfortunately, we may not accept all members of your intended team. You can look for new teammates on our Discord server, or keep an eye on the dashboard for any potential updates on your status.
How many teammates are needed to form a full team?
You can hack alone or in a team of up to 4 members. We limit teams to 4 people to keep things fair.
I do not have a full team. How do I look for teammates?
After your acceptance is confirmed, you will be added to the Hack&Roll 2026 Discord server, where you can meet other participants and form teams before the event. If necessary, we will also help you to find teammates.
I do not have a full team. Can I work on my hack without a full team?
You are strongly encouraged to form a full team by looking for teammates in the Hack&Roll 2026 Discord server. While we allow for partial teams, we hope that you will get to forge new friendships in Hack&Roll as well, by forming a full team with other participants.
I am not currently a full-time university undergraduate. Can I still participate in Hack&Roll 2026?
Everyone is welcome to participate, including part-time undergraduates, NSFs, and pre-university students! Just keep in mind that while graduate students and graduates are free to hack with us, they won't be eligible to win prizes.
I am an international participant. Can I participate in Hack&Roll 2026?
Yes, you can! However, we do not provide assistance in getting to, staying in, or departing from Singapore (e.g. visa, accommodation).
I am a participant who has certain ailments or disabilities that will require certain additional accommodations or arrangements. Can I still join the hackathon?
Of course! Please do indicate in the registration form that you will require additional accommodations, and we will reach out to you to discuss how we can ensure your needs are well taken care of.
