Flag format
Flags look like SCTF{...} unless a challenge says otherwise. Flags are case-sensitive unless stated.
Scoring
- Each challenge is worth the points shown. Some challenges use dynamic scoring: their value drops as more teams solve them.
- The first three teams to solve a challenge earn a first-blood bonus.
- Unlocking a hint costs the points shown on it.
- Ties are broken by whoever reached the score first.
Conduct
- Do not attack the platform or other participants.
- Do not share flags or solutions with other teams during the event.
- Do not brute-force flag submission; it is rate-limited and logged.
- Organisers may award bonus points for unique solutions or write-ups, and may deduct points or disqualify teams for misconduct. Organiser decisions are final.
