About the project
TeamForge is a hackathon team formation platform designed to solve the challenges of managing thousands of participants.
In large hackathons, hundreds of participants may try to join the same team simultaneously, creating race conditions, duplicate memberships and team capacity problems.
TeamForge aims to solve these challenges through team creation, unique invitation codes, join requests, leader approval, membership management and automatic leadership transfer.
The platform is designed around reliable backend operations, database transactions and concurrency protection to ensure that teams never exceed their maximum capacity.
Our goal is to make hackathon team formation simple, fair, secure and scalable.
