rules.txt

This text serves as definitive rules for the competition. Failure to follow these rules will result in penalities or suspension.

Teams

Do not share flags, solutions, hints with other teams whilst the event is running. Only teams up to 4 allowed (solo play allowed)

Fair play

Don't attack the infrastructure or scoring platform, other teams, or anything outside challenge scope. Do not brute-force flags, or run DoS attacks unless the challenge has specified so.

No AI / LLMs

Using LLMs or AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and similar) is completely banned during the competition. Any violation means disqualification.

Flag format

Flags follow the following format like konglig{...} where the dots follow the following regex: [a-zA-Z0-9_åäöÅÄÖ*]. The challenge may states other regex for flags.

Scoring

Dynamic scoring: every challenge starts at 500 points and decays with the number of solves. Ties are broken by earliest final submission.

Disputes

Organizers' decisions are final. Questions during the event go to the admins on-site or the event Discord.
