Hello guys,

 

As said by Ish, the guys don’t really about the web itself and they are organizing events related to web development.

 

P.S: I blogged [1] about the incompetency of the organizing team back in 2013 when I participated in WebCup 2013. I won’t say I’m full stack web developer but, from my expertise in the field of web dev, this event is all about money & sponsorship.

Congratulations on your appointment to the ICT Advisory Council. :-)

 

​Thank you​ :-)

 


I found the following for last year's WebCup: http://maurice.webcup.fr/actualites-webcup-maurice-2014/proud-geek-le-grand-gagnant-2014-1007.html "google" added the following comment:

  "Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. [[ » ] Edit or delete it,
   then start blogging!"

It is faster to buy a HTML template when nobody will notice it. :-)

 

​As per this page (http://maurice.webcup.fr/webcup-2015-informations-inscriptions) it seems the organisers of WebCup have created a "private group" on Facebook to educate/guide participants; while the web version of the regulations[1] is awaiting a "mise à jour".

 

The website has poor UI if you consider the different size of fonts used and the placement of texts. This color combination is horrible.

 

The following page (http://www.webcup.fr/espace-presse) mentions that registration for WebCup 2015 has started as from 30 March 2015. However, on the earlier mentioned page I highlighted the lack of information regarding registration & regulations. WebCup looks like it's organized by people who know little about the web.
