[ABOUT]

The Trace Labs Search Party CTF is a non theoretical, gamified effort that allows for the crowdsourcing of contestants to perform a single task: Conduct open source intelligence operations to help find missing persons

[TEAMS]

Contestants participate in teams of 1 to 4 persons.

[FLAGS]

The Capture the Flag (CTF) event is a gamified version of what real trackers do. While the ultimate goals is to find the person, we do this through finding individual flags that often build a picture of where the missing person may be.

[JUDGING]

In order to ensure all submissions are high value and contribute to the location of the missing person, our community comes together to support each event with a judge panel that vets each submission.

[POINTS and SCORING]

Beginners can score many low scoring easier flags while experts can go for the harder yet higher scoring points. At the end, all contestants get a badge of honor to show the community they participated in the event.
