   Have to point this out because it annoys me every time:

   Cloudflare is perhaps most famously and most significantly an international, global platform. That's kind of the whole point.

   Only in the smallprint does it mention you must be a United States or Canada resident to enter.

      Thank you for pointing this out! I always love a good competition and since I already have a workers paid plan it seemed fun. But I'm not eligible, so I guess I'll rebuild github without giving any IP to Cloudflare

      I'll be honest: I saw the prize was a trip to SF and — while I was vanishingly unlikely to enter anyway — that was enough to kill any idea of entering. It's been over 20 years since I was last in the USA, and I have no intention of visiting again any time soon.

      Indeed from a company targeting global market, scoping the contestants to US & Canada residents is already not very welcoming.
