Hi Vincent
Then this explains it all _at_ not like a hackathon or development compete.
Ish mentioned that in some cases templates were used. I took a look and

Is it also permitted for teams to use templates in the webcup?
Regards
Dhiruj
ps:.. I couldn't make it to the webcup Vincent!.. lol.. maybe next year.
