The Hackers Challenge page is up for 2026
Full details for this year's format are posted. An online qualifier runs Tuesday noon to Friday 6:00 AM on a dynamically scored Jeopardy board, and the top four plus the top minimal-AI player advance to the in-person final on Friday morning. Declare minimal-AI or maxi-AI at registration; three scoreboards track both. The winner takes the Black Badge.
