Module Assembly - TC Direct Studio Design First2Finish Challenge Type

Requirements:

In this assembly challenge, we will implement a new Challenge Type called Design First2Finish

The following are the detailed requirements:

1. The new Challenge category has the name "Design First2Finish", it should be put into the Studio (i.e. Design) project type
2. The Challenge will have the Reg/Sub/Review phases. We need to create a new phase template for it. Set the dependency in phase templates to make the review starts when submission starts, so that review will open after the first submission is uploaded.
   • The Reg, Submission and Review phase should be default long so they can keep open. We recommend 30 days here.
3. There will be no multile round for the Design First2Finish
4. There will only be the 1st place prize for the Design First2Finish, please refer to the First2Finish category in Development project type.
5. We don't need Max Number Of Submissions for Design First2Finish
6. Please set the project_info property to allow multiple submissions for Design First2Finish
7. The user which has permission on the challenge / project can check out (i.e. Pick up the First2Finish) winner at any time as long as there is submission(s). When user checks out
   • If the registration is open, close the registration
   • If the submission is open, close the submission
   • The checkout user will be assigned as the only reviewer
   • All the scorecards of existing submissions should be fill automatically.
   • The review phase will be closed after filling scorecards.
