I don't find the gender aspect quite as off-putting as I do the following things: * No clear rules are stated - how many people can participate, how big can teams be, are there just two teams? What if more women participate than men, or vice versa? * What will the judging criteria be? Who will be the judge(s)? * What kind of 'hack' are we talking about? Straight-up coding competitions have been around for a while now and there are well-established principles of how to judge the winners, but this seems to be a competition based around the loosest possible interpretation of 'hack'. * What prize, if any, will be awarded and to whom? * If I want to compete, what do I need? Skills? Equipment? Basically, it feels like the only idea they've got is the 'sexes' part, with no real details on what the 'battle' is all about. It's really impossible to evaluate whether it's a good idea with such little information.
