To initiate an appeal, navigate to your judged submission with the red notification dot, on the CodeHawks portal:
Read the community judges and lead judge comments in the provided comment box:
Suppose you don't believe the judge's decision is correct or have any questions about the judging results. In that case, you can add a new comment stating, in greater detail, why you believe a given issue is valid or invalid.
If you're challenging other entries, provide concise reasoning for any discrepancies identified.
Low-effort appeals risk being disregarded.
Important Points to Consider
Quality Over Quantity: While we appreciate thoroughness and attention to detail, we must ensure that appeals are well-reasoned and backed by substantial evidence. Appeals that appear hasty or lack clarity will be promptly closed.
Frequency of Appeals: Participants are encouraged to raise valid concerns. However, excessive appeals with little to no merit can lead to a situation where even valid concerns from the participant might be disqualified. We urge participants to be discerning and thoughtful in their approach.
Lead Judges of a contest will be responsible for assessing appeals during the appeals phase.
