Subject: Epic Brodown!

Sup Broseph!?
I was playing this sick game of ultimate today with one of the other startups
at our co-working space. They were burning super hard after we kicked their ass
and started talking mad shit. One of the dudes starts talking shit about my
brogramming chops and I was all like, "Come at me, bro!" Then he was all like,
"Naw Kimbro Slice, we gotta handle this right. We're having a brodown!" They
told me about this contest out in Vegas called BroCTF. At first I thought it
was some kind of sweet mashup of dirt biking and capture the flag but
apparently it's this totally chill competition for hackers and brogrammers.

The contest is supposed to be at this epic hacker meetup called DEFCON which
is having it's 20th Anniversary this year. I was thinking we grab some more
bros, road trip out to vegas, and show these scrubs how to rage like real
brogrammers. I hear they're gonna be bumping some hardcore brostep all weekend
and have some totally sweet challenges this year. The game is suppossed to run
Fri and Sat 10:00-10:00 and most of the day on Sunday. Should give us plenty
of time to show these fauxbros what's up and still slam some jager bombs at the
clubs!

I received a PM from Pyr0, and I believe I am following his request as described. If not, it should be corrected as soon as possible.

There appears to be disagreement on "returning event" within the group that previously ran the OpenCTF, and it appears to have been forked into 2 separate contests:
1) Returning OpenCTF (which had a forum where this thread was posted)
2) This new event, "BroCTF," which did not have a forum until Pyr0 requested one get added.

Just because you have a forum does not mean this event is a go. Pyr0 is the guy that owns the contests, and the forums will reflect the decision he makes on which contests are good to go. You will want to work with Pyr0 and submit the request for info he has made available for people that want to run contests:

Pyr0's RFI for contests/events for DC20 is now public...

Thanks, and good luck.

This is so awesome. What skill level are we talking?

Challenges are still being finalized but will range from easily accessible to very difficult. The game is designed however so that even someone fairly new can at least solve some of it.
