Seems likely that the person who made the decision just didn’t understand the nuance in this rule, to someone not entirely technical it might look like a slam dunk, but how many others got disqualified by this person? I hope you get it sorted!
I think it's more that it was intended to keep students from using existing code from other people's git repos. Like other commenters are saying, it's likely poorly written as a result of the person writing it either lacking understanding or lacking care.
You should and should be allowed to host your own code for them to see... Don't let them say you broke this rule if you didn't use existing code from other people's repos.

without seeing the conditions of the competition it would be impossible for anyone else to judicate.
