Adds the 3 hackathons requested via community issues that were not already listed. Each was verified against its official page on 2026-07-12.

Event Host Location State Prize Issue
Hack Your Way Into the Hacker House (Flight Zero) OnlyExit Hacker House / localhost:nyc New York, NY open Fast-track OnlyExit interview (non-monetary) #131
Checkout: The Travel & Hospitality Hackathon localhost:nyc New York, NY open TBA #132
Knight Hacks IX University of Central Florida Orlando, FL open TBA #134

Two corrections to what was submitted

1. Neither NYC event has a published deadline. Both submissions gave a "deadline" that is just the day before the event date:

Neither Luma page publishes a registration deadline. The field is omitted rather than inventing one — this is the same event-date-as-deadline bug already cleaned out of the rest of listings.json. (Both events are genuinely open, approval-gated, and not full.)

2. Knight Hacks prize is TBA, not $60,000. The $60,000 on the site appears under a "Last year at Knight Hacks" retrospective — it is not an announced 2026 prize pool.

Geocoding

Added "Orlando, FL" to the geocode table in web/lib/listings.ts — without it Knight Hacks would have silently vanished from the globe (issue #111). For the same reason the NYC entries are normalized to "New York, NY"; the submitted "Manhattan, NYC" is not a geocode key.

Result: 62 listings, and the only unmapped one is Arcangel (location is literally TBA).

Not added

HackGT (#133) — already exists as HackGT 13 — Sep 25–27, 2026 (hack.gt). Closing that issue as a duplicate.

Verification

  • util.check_schema — 62 listings valid
  • python -m unittest discover — 53 passed
  • vitest run — 55 passed · tsc --noEmit clean
  • README + stats banner regenerated

Verified each against its official page (2026-07-12) before adding.

- Hack Your Way Into the Hacker House / Flight Zero (OnlyExit + localhost:nyc)
  New York, NY, In-Person, open (approval-gated, 116 spots left). Event Jul 18.
  Prize is non-monetary: fast-track OnlyExit Hacker House interview.
- Checkout: The Travel & Hospitality Hackathon (localhost:nyc)
  New York, NY, In-Person, open (approval-gated). Event Aug 8. Prize TBD.
- Knight Hacks IX (University of Central Florida)
  Orlando, FL, In-Person, open. Event Oct 9-11.

Two corrections to what was submitted:

1. No deadlines. Both NYC submissions listed a "deadline" that is simply the
   day before the event date (Jul 17 for a Jul 18 event; Aug 7 for an Aug 8
   event). Neither page publishes a registration deadline, so the field is
   omitted rather than inventing one -- the same event-date-as-deadline bug
   already cleaned out of the rest of the file.

2. Knight Hacks prize is TBA, not $60,000. The $60k figure on the site sits
   under a "Last year at Knight Hacks" retrospective, not a 2026 prize pool.

Also added "Orlando, FL" to the web geocode table. Without it Knight Hacks
would have silently vanished from the globe (issue #111) -- the NYC entries are
normalized to "New York, NY" for the same reason, since the submitted
"Manhattan, NYC" is not a geocode key.

HackGT (#133) was NOT added: it already exists as "HackGT 13".
