Organizers

So you or your company or group of friends want to organize a CTF?

So you've decided to organize a CTF and you have no idea where to start, here are a few things that you'll need to decide sooner rather than later:

• is this going to be an online or onsite event?

• when and where is it going to take place

• how many participants do you expect? make a rough estimate or upper and lower bounds

• how and when are the participants going to register?

• are there going to be prizes for the participants and what are those going to be

• are there going to be sponsors and if so, what are your expectations from them?

• are there going to be presentations during your event? if so what subjects?

• who is responsible for what? who's speaking with the sponsors, who's dealing with player questions, who's going to provide support during the event?

• what is the end goal for the CTF? have fun? advertise a service? promote a conference? discover talent?

• what is the intended and expected participant experience level?

• are you planing on doing it your self or hire a company for it?
