The Jeopardy-Style HITB-WGMY GSEC CTF will use a dynamic scoring model. For starters, each team will be provided with 3 randomly given challenges. Each challenge will start at 500 points and will be dynamically adjusted by the “dynamic scoring system” based on the number of solvers. Let’s say one challenge has been solved by team A, they will get full 500 points. Then, if team B solves the same challenge, the 500 points will be shared between the two teams and resulted in 250 points on each team.

A new challenge will be randomly released for every solved challenge. If any team wants a new challenge beforehand, they need to buy it on the “Challenge Market” – prices range from full price (100 points) for unsolved challenges to half price (50 points) for solved challenges. After 3 hours of non-activity on the scoreboard, the organizer will provide one challenge randomly for free to each team. This is to prevent a stagnant game.

All transactions considered as final and non-refundable. At the end of the competition, the team with the most points will be crowned as the winner. In case of multiple teams with equal scores, the team that reached the score earlier will ranks higher.

P/S: The CTF network will be isolated from the rest of the conference network, and we will NOT provide internet access. However, you are free to use the HITB conference wireless network or get your own dedicated internet.
