Write-ups and interviews
The evidence teams must submit and how the technical committee verifies solutions.
Document how each flag was captured
Every team must submit a detailed write-up explaining the exact method used to capture each flag. The write-up is part of the competition’s integrity checks, not just a summary of the result. The session introduces the validation process and the required technical write-ups.
Be ready to explain the work
After the qualifier, the technical committee may randomly select teams for an online interview on the following Sunday. Every member of a selected team must attend and explain the reasoning behind the write-up, including code produced with AI. Teams that cannot defend their work risk significant point deductions or disqualification. The audit and interview process, the participation requirement, and the consequences of failing to explain a solution are covered in the recording.
