| Saturday, September 17 | ||
| Midnight - 6AM | Midnight raffles begin. We pull out two names out of a hat (literally) once an hour. If you're around and awake, you win some of our sponsors awesome Schwag. | First Floor Towne |

| Midnight - 6AM | Midnight raffles are back for Day 2! We pull out two names out of a hat (literally) once an hour. If you're around and awake, you win some of our sponsors awesome Schwag. Also available at 6AM - drawing for our biggest, baddest Schwaggy thing. It'll be good. | First Floor Towne |
| 9:30AM | Breakfast. Probably just yesterday's cereal, with fresher milk, maybe some bagels. | Accenture Cafe (Engineering Cafe) |
| Noon | Stop hacking, the judges are here! Spend an hour or so with the judges while they walk around and see some of the awesome things you've built. | First Floor Towne |
| 1PM | Lunch is served. Probably something reasonably proper, since we've got guests. | Accenture Cafe (Engineering Cafe) |
| 2-3:30PM | Demo Session - time to show off what you built to everybody. You'll have about 2 minutes (depending on total number of hacks) to pitch. | Wu and Chen Auditorium |
| 4PM | Awards - the judges, having picked winners in record time congratulate the hackers and we take lots of pictures. | Wu and Chen Auditorium |
| 5PM | Having barely made it out of Engineering, you stumble home and fall asleep still wearing your clothing and holding your laptop. You will blissfully sleep this way for about 13 hours. | Your dorm room |
| Monday - Thursday, September 19-22 | ||
| Ongoing | Student Choice Award ballots are open for the next four days. Consider making a Fan Page for your hack (really). | Everywhere! |
