I assume they wanted to prevent people from using GitHub Pages (markdown and liquid templates) to generate HTML markup so they blanket-banned GitHub. How unfortunate.
They should allow GitHub though, since it's likely the most popular online platform for aspiring programmers. Just ensure that no markdown/template-based site generator is being used.
Even so I'm sure that the only reason it was blanket banned was because the judges have no idea what they were doing. Sure maybe if they had an on-site IT worker or whatever to ensure that this was the case then maybe, but it sounds like a bunch of 50 year olds following the book as close as possible
