Jury banner Jury is HackUTD’s open source project judging platform. It is a pairwise judging system built with modern technologies, aimed at optimizing the user experience of judges, hackers, and organizers. Jury uses an individual ranking and rank aggregation system to automate the judging process and help organizers get more data from fewer judges to decide the winners of your hackathon. Jury was inspired by Gavel by anishathalye.
