Vibe League — Competitive Vibe Coding

What is the Vibe League?

Pick the one that fits. I'll show you why it had to exist.

How does a day actually work?

Morning: a brief drops — a real business someone actually wants built.

You get the whole day, plus a full tank of AI credits on us, to make it real.

9pm: you drop a live link. Judges and the crowd score it.

The top five get paid that night. Then the board resets and we run it back tomorrow.

What makes us different

Not a hackathon
No toy demos or weekend hacks. You build real things operators want: stores, brands, funnels, SaaS, and marketing tools.
Built for vibe coders
You steer the AI and ship fast. Taste and speed win here, not who memorized the most code.
Real client briefs
Some days are sponsored by a real company. They had a $150K project, so they fund the pool instead. The whole field builds it, and the winning build can become their real product.
We pay fast
Most contests pay weeks later. We pay the same day you win.
A trophy worth chasing
Win a day and earn the Black Triangle, our signet for champions. The grand champion gets it in gold.

How it works

The promise

Building is free. We fuel it.

Every builder gets a capped credit grant each tournament — enough to ship, fueled by the day's sponsor. No card required. Need more? Top up at cost.

Who can join?
Anyone, anywhere. No cap on seats — the league is open to all.
What does it cost?
Nothing. It is free to enter and your seat is good for all 45 days.
When do I build?
Every day runs 9am to 9pm. Twelve hours, start to finish.
Can I use AI?
Yes. That is the whole point. Build with whatever stack you are fastest in.
Who pays for the credits?
We do. Every tournament gives you a credit grant — fueled by that day's sponsor — that's enough to ship the brief. No card required to compete.
Is there a credit limit?
Yes, on purpose. The grant is capped so it stays plenty to build with but never careless. Unused credits don't roll over.
What if I need more?
Top up at cost — never markup. Free is the default; the door is just open for the obsessed.
What do I hand in?
A live public link and your repo, before 9pm.
How are wins judged?
Each day lists 3 things we score. Real business value comes first.
Do I keep my work?
Yes. You own your code. We just get to show it.
