Integrity & appeals

Swipe

Know the review triggers

Review triggers include implausible registrations, bulk check-ins, more meals than check-ins, reused photos, altered receipts, and missing evidence.

Cooperate with evidence checks

b54 may ask for original files, repository access, vendor or venue confirmation, or a live team call.

Preserve the evidence

Keep evidence until b54 closes the review.

Consequences follow the evidence

Consequences scale with the evidence: held payment, revoked results, removed access, suspension.

Serious misconduct can suspend access

Fake participants, forged documents, bribery, plagiarism, harassment, or data exposure can mean immediate suspension.

Appeal with new evidence

Appeal within five business days with the decision named and new evidence attached.

Review triggers include duplicate or implausible registrations, proxy or bulk check-ins, repeated device or timing anomalies, more meals than check-ins, reused or inconsistent photos, inaccessible or copied repositories, altered or split receipts, vendor relationships, unusual prices, participant complaints, and missing closeout evidence.

b54 may request original files, repository access, a live team verification, vendor confirmation, venue confirmation, participant sampling, payment records, or a written explanation. Preserve relevant evidence until b54 closes the event review.

Consequences are proportionate to evidence and risk. b54 may hold, reduce, deny, recover, or audit payment; rule a project ineligible; change or revoke results, prizes, or certificates; remove access; suspend or remove a Campus Rep, volunteer, judge, or participant; block future events; and notify an institution, partner, donor, insurer, payment provider, or authority when required.

Material falsehood, fake participants, forged documents, evidence tampering, bribery, undisclosed related-party vendors, plagiarism, harassment, retaliation, violence, or deliberate data exposure may justify immediate suspension.

Affected people may appeal within five business days. The appeal must identify the challenged decision and provide new, verifiable evidence; disagreement alone is not enough. A reviewer who did not make the original decision should assess the appeal where practical. The final written decision closes the review.
