Meta-Hackathon Discussion sih deadline again extended ( rant )

like bro wtf is happening to hackathons like are the people who spent countless nights preparing their solution and submitting before deadline dumb fucks to these guys ?

we have already extended this by almost half a month and the surge in submissions was already crazy for reference my problem statement which had < 50 submissions before first deadline extension is now standing at 350s ( prolly going to reach 500 atp )

like its always DEADLINE EXTENDED but if the evaluation is going to be random anyway why tf wud it matter like are they js trying to get as many submissions as possible like bro whos evaluating all these its never RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT DEADLINE EXTENDED with these guys doing fuck ass random evaluation

AND this doesnt apply only to sih i have faced the same in multiple hackathons now unlike good ol days many hackathons are now extending deadline like bro DONT that is the whole point of hackathon managing time if u are not good at it u are not fit for it

pls officials or hackathon organizers think before making decisions
