Ready to get started?Who may join HABI-TBI?
Authorized LGU representatives may submit challenges. Students participate through school-linked teams, while eligible professionals may pitch alone or with a professional team.
Can an individual join more than one pitching team?
No. A pitcher may have only one active pitching entry in an event: one school team, one professional team, or one solo-professional entry.
How are LGU challenges assigned?
Teams request an approved challenge. The LGU reviews the ordinary request, while an Event Admin may resolve escalations or reassign a match with a recorded reason.
Will attendance use QR codes?
Yes. Every approved participant receives an individual event pass with a signed HMAC token. A readable registration number provides an accessible, auditable fallback at check-in.
How are submission files protected?
Each team receives up to 250 MB active storage quota. Uploaded files are quarantined and verified through automated ClamAV anti-malware checking before commitment.
