First, apologies that it took me a month to get this out.

Second,

Thank you SO much for coming to the conference, and competing in our Capture the Flag contest this year! We hope you had as much fun playing as we did building it!

There were 37 accounts in total, with 25 of them scoring points (some of the teams that scored nothing were made in error, were duplicates, or were admin accounts) and our perspective was that about half of the attendees were using individual accounts, with the other half using a shared team account for submissions.

6 out of 6 Tier 1 challenges were solved. 4 out of 5 Tier 2 challenges were solved, and 1 out of 4 Tier 3 challenges were solved.

We saw a very even progression of points from 25th all the way up to 1st place, which leads us to infer that we presented a very broad spectrum of challenges that catered to every experience level. Hopefully that was the case for you!

Below is a link to a short survey we’ve crafted, and we would greatly appreciate your feedback about the event, to include how the registration process was, whether we had enough space, the quality of the challenges, and what you’d like to see next year.
