"Making money from the idea will not be a factor. Winners will be audited before winning to ensure hacks were created during the weekend."

This is great! The last angelhack I went to was the exact opposite and it was pretty demoralizing getting a bunch of negative feedback from VC-ish judges even though it was 100% working and 100% built from scratch by myself in 24hrs (which was blatantly obvious most weren't via simple Google search) and it looked good and was using pretty advanced real time web technology[1]. It actually kinda bummed me out on hackathons for a while.
