## 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](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=1438) and [the required technical write-ups](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=1862).

## 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](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=1870), [the participation requirement](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=2916), and [the consequences of failing to explain a solution](https://youtu.be/kO-dMGd8CAM?t=2911) are covered in the recording.
