The team have an option to remove it's project from the voting, but not from the entries page. Mine entry works fine, but it's kind of ramdom to find out others that are not breaking.
Having a high judge: contestant ratio is good for everyone; judges have less work, everyone gets evaluated by a few judges, and it takes less clock time. More work for Gerad and visnup, though
It’s stock exchange for open source projects on Github. Each project is valuated by its popularity, and it changes over time. So you can earn GitCoins by betting trending projects.

1. Yeah, our screenshot service is getting hammered, it's down, but the contestant apps are up. We're fixing it right now. We had to roll our own, so if anybody knows of a better one, holler.
2. What aaron said about the judges. It sounds like a lot, but we want each team to have 10 judge reviews, and each judge only to have to review 10 apps. Hence the 1:1 ratio. It's really hard to get, but it makes the contest better.
3. People are complaining about Facebook auth for public voting. There are 750 million people on Facebook, and we wanted to pick just a single auth method for the public (that normal people know how to use), so Facebook wins. Contestants logged in with GitHub, and judges log in with Twitter, so it wasn't a technical decision at all, just a simplicity of use one.
Anyway, it's not about the contest itself, it's about what people create during it. So comment on those. What apps did you like?
I, particularly, had one of the best weekends in a long wile and I am glad that this idea I had a long time ago was not only possible to make in 48hs but also is alive and kicking some ass!
