Registration & team formation

Hackathon registration & team formation software

Registration is the first impression and team formation is where events quietly lose people. Hackathon by Slingshot handles both — a branded bilingual form, AI-assisted selection, and a team-matching flow that keeps solo participants in.

Sign-ups and teams are where events leak participants

A generic form collects half the fields you need, the acceptance list turns into a manual copy-paste, and the participants who registered alone never find a team — so they don’t show up on day one.

  • Forms that can't capture the fields your event actually needs
  • A selection process run by hand in a spreadsheet
  • Solo registrants who never form a team and quietly no-show

From application to a checked-in team

The front half of the lifecycle, wired together so no one falls through.

01

A bilingual form builder

Drag in the fields you need, add bilingual labels and file uploads, and publish a registration page in English and Arabic that matches your brand.

02

AI-assisted selection

Statuses, bulk actions, and AI summaries let you review, shortlist, and accept a thousand applications in an afternoon instead of a week.

03

Team formation that keeps solos in

Invite codes let formed teams register together, while a looking-for-team pool helps solo participants find teammates before day one.

04

One-click roster moves

When plans change, move a participant between teams or open a spot with a single click — no re-registration.

05

QR check-in on the day

Every accepted participant gets a QR badge; scan them in at the door and watch the live counter climb.

Frequently asked questions

Can the form capture custom fields?
Yes. Build the form with the fields your event needs — student ID, dietary needs, track choice, portfolio uploads — with bilingual labels, no developer required.
Are the forms bilingual?
Yes. Registration pages and forms publish in English and Arabic with true right-to-left layout, so every applicant registers in their own language.
How do participants form teams?
Teams can register together with an invite code, or solo participants can join a looking-for-team pool and find teammates. Organizers can also place people into teams directly.
Can we approve applicants before they form teams?
Yes. Run selection first — review, shortlist, and accept with AI-assisted screening — then open team formation to accepted participants.
