Below lie the rules regarding EasyCTF. These rules have been specifically formulated in order to preserve the integrity of the competition for every participant. These rules exist only serve as a auxillary to your own common sense. One of EasyCTF's core goals is to gauge your team's understanding of the relevant computer science principles. If we wanted to measure the magnitude of your teacher's knowledge of computer science, we would attend a local CSTA meeting. Due to the nature of the competition's content, the whole of the world wide web is free game. Do not, however, use forums or other services in which the problem is forwarded to unregistered member of EasyCTF. Sharing flags is obviously against rules, and will not be permitted. Do not confuse EasyCTF with an attack-defense CTF platform; if you attack either the EasyCTF infrastructure or another team, you will be subject to complete team explusion, as well as the possibility of legal pursuance. All decisions made by an administrator from the EasyCTF Team are final.

<h2 class="heading2">Flag Format</h2>
|
|
<p class="paragraph">Unless otherwise stated, the flags that you will find will be in the format:
|
|
<code>easyctf{example_flag}</code>. Flags will not be case sensative. Although the only part of the flag that should be submitted is the content within the curly braces, flags including 'EasyCTF', and the sorrounding brackets will not be sufficient cause for invalidation.

<h2 class="heading2">Scoring</h2>
|
|
<p class="paragraph">In EasyCTF, every problem has an assigned point value. This point value is assigned based on the difficulty or the extent of time required to solve the problem. Your team's total score is the sum of the points you obtain from every problem you solve. A few problems may have speed bonuses, meaning that the first solve on a problem will earn a bonus percent
|
|
of the original problem value. These bonus points will also count toward your team total. Here is a screenshot from the problems page to demonstrate. Teams with higher points will outrank teams with lower points. Should a tie occur between two
|
|
teams, the time of the last submission will be used to break the tie. For example, if two teams are tied at 100 points, the team that reached 100 points first will outrank the team that reached 100 points afterwards.</p>

<h2 class="heading2">Eligibility and Observer Accounts/Teams</h2>
|
|
<p class="paragraph">EasyCTF is targeted at students enrolled in high schools or middle schools across the United States. Therefore, only students who are enrolled in high schools or middle schools in the United States are eligible for prizes. We will verify that the
|
|
winning teams meet these conditions; if a winning team does not meet these conditions, then the prizes will be given to the next highest team. If you don't live in the United States, or you're not a high school or middle school student, you are
|
|
still encouraged to compete, but under an Observer account. Teams with at least one Observer member will be considered an Observer team. Observer teams still appear in the scoreboard, but are not eligible for prizes.</p>
