Game Day smpCTF 2010 Hacker Olympics

How it all goes down...

So on game day every team will receive a Team Key. Keep this key in a secure 
and safe place. You will need this for submit ting each challenge, without it 
your team will be unable to receive point's for challenges.

The challenges are broken down into a series, while they vary in type. 
They are not specifically labelled as to the genre of the challenge. 
Once you complete a level, you will get a flag and a challenge key. 
The challenge key will be used when submitting your flag.

Submitting a Flag

http://xxxxxxxx (server not up till game day)

So once you have completed a level, and found the flag and challenge key.
You will then grab your trusty team id key, and submit the 2 keys "challenge,
team" to the flag submission server. If your team key is valid, the flag is 
then compared to the one stored on the flag submission server.

Once a match has been verified, the challenge key will be checked and point's 
will then be awarded to the submitting team. The time you submitted your flag 
is logged. Make sure to NOT double submit a flag, or it could skew your results!
That would be a matter of loosing bonous points if your team was on of the first
three to complete a challenge.

smpCTF Point's System

The point's system work's very simple. Each challenge is assigned a numeric 
value based on difficulty levels. The team with the most point's at the end 
of the CTF wins. The top 5 teams with the most point's will then advance into 
the finals.

*Bonus Point's*

Bonus point's will be awarded to the first 3 teams to complete a challenge. 
Point's are based on the over-all 
percentage of the teams score.

1St team = 10%
2Nd team = 5%
3Rd team = 2.5%

Wall of Shame

Wall of shame will not be a good place, if your team or a member of your team 
is placed on the wall of shame. Your team is auto de-ducted 5% of the over-all 
total score for every hour you remain on the wall. 

Q: How do you get off the wall?
A: Try hard not to end up on it...
