Introduction

Welcome to The Tournament.


It’s a weekend to bring together the brightest builders of our generation.

You don’t need to code.
You don’t need to be technical.

You just need a laptop and a vision.


If you have an idea that keeps you up at night, this is your shot to bring it to life.


We can't wait to see what you build.

Welcome to the Tournament.


A weekend that can turn your wildest dreams into reality.


36 hours of laser focus inside a 20,000 sq. ft. building.


No code.

No technical skills.
Just your ideas and your execution.


Do your ideas keep you awake at night?
Do they make your mind race?

Is building your greatest desire?


If so, there’s only one thing left to do:

Enter the track.
