##  How is the competition scored?
This is not a competition to just share ideas in PowerPoint, you must develop and show off prototypes of the concept. The code must be "pushed" to a Source Code Management system (called BitBucket) for it to be a valid entry.

We award points for a mix of showing off solutions to problems and showing off the application of new technologies as follows: 

###### Maximum 30 points for technology: 
    use of innovative, nascent or unfamiliar technologies to FIS
###### Maximum 30 points for the problem solved: 
    demonstrates utility and applicability for our clients 
    (e.g., product/services, internal processes/improvements or other related ideas)
###### Maximum 30 points for the “wow” or “coolness” factor 
    the innovative appeal of the solution
###### Maximum 10 points for the submission package: 
    by the end of the 48 hours, source code checked into Bitbucket, into master branch, 
    with a readme.md description of the project – no PowerPoint allowed! 
    (See next FAQ for more details.)

        * This process enables consistent descriptions of your projects to share with others.
        * There are absolutely NO EXCEPTIONS. Every year we get teams saying they didn't know.
            See the FAQs on accessing BitBucket.
        * All files must be in prior to coding stop. We will set the repos to read-only
            at your coding stop.
        * Don't wait until the last minute to push your code. Check in files early 
            and often! As you can imagine, if there are 50+ teams all trying to push 
            code at the last minute, that will overwhelm the network and you may miss out.
        * We will not accept the readme.md file via email. It must be checked into BitBucket.
        * Document the idea in the InnovateNow tool (https://innovatenow.fnis.com).
            For a walkthrough of the tool, please visit wiki link above.
        * If you have any issues entering your idea, please email innovatenow@fisglobal.com.
