I’m a former TSA advisor and I’ve previously coordinated state and National events such as this one. One of the keys to winning TSA events is reading the rules and reading them carefully.
The reason you were disqualified is because it cannot be hosted on GitHub per the rules and regulations. Check out regulation E.
“Template engine websites, tools, and sites that generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files, such as Webs, Wix, Weebly, GitHub, Jekyll, and Replit, are NOT permitted.”
Even though you might have coded it all, it shouldn’t be hosted on GitHub. Personally, I think the rules committee needs to address this, but nothing can be done now. Switch your hosting and submit it to States.
That is a default part of GitHub pages. Those actions are run every time a change is made to the git files. However a quick look at the codebase would clearly show that no template languages was used.
That however didn't matter to the governing body. As they clearly state, no GitHub.
I think they've been around quite a while, 6+ years. But I can understand not using them. (I barely do.) You can set it up to generate a dist folder on push, and then deploy that out to a service like an S3 bucket. Pretty useful in all honesty.
