Rules
01
Play Fair

Compete with integrity. Cheating, exploiting the platform itself, or using unauthorized tools against the infrastructure results in disqualification.

02
No Flag Sharing

Flags, solutions, and hints must not be shared with other teams. Collaboration is only allowed between members of the same team.

03
Team Limits

Each participant may join only one team. Register one account per person and keep your team size within the allowed limit.

04
No Attacks on Infrastructure

Do not attack the scoreboard, the CTFd platform, other teams, or any server outside the scope of a challenge. No DoS or brute-forcing of the platform.

05
Flag Format

Unless a challenge says otherwise, flags follow the official event format shown in the challenge description. Submit flags only through the platform.

06
Scoring & Ties

Points are awarded per solved challenge. In case of a tie, the team that reached the score first ranks higher.

07
Report Issues

Found a bug or an unintended solution? Report it to the organizers instead of abusing it. Organizer decisions are final.
