i think the top bit can be clearer as to who this document is for, making clear that anyone is free to organise their event the way they want it, but highlighting that this document is close to what the hackers are going to expect under the term HackDay/Hackathon, and any deviation will be unexpected unless unannounced.

Not 100% I think, but definitely related

After going to a few hackdays that were labelled hackdays or hackathons, but were really events designed to create new fundable businesses, and judging submissions based on these criteria instead, I agree with this.

It might be worth mentioning that there are organisations that run very specific events like Social Innovation Camp with the explicit outcomes planned of creating business that can be funded to solve given problems, and there the focus is far more on putting together a convincing pitch and story, than making a clever hack - and helping explain the difference for them.

Probably also worth adding a short statement to the top of the README about this.
