Updated calendar appointments were sent due to a correction in the scheduled time—and it's a win for everyone. Based on player feedback, we've extended the session to 8 hours to give teams enough time to compete, collaborate, and complete all challenges. While speed still counts (with First to Finish up for grabs), we know some teams want time to dig deeper. Whether you wrap up in 4 hours or stay the full 8, this update gives you flexibility without sacrificing the thrill of competition. This red team-style CTF puts you in the role of attackers breaking into an emulated internal network.

Bonus: Meet Willa, your new AI teammate offering tips, insights, and live support when you need it. Let's go—more time, more tools, more chances to win.
