Registration for teams of 2-4 people is open until April 1.

On 1-7 April, Innopolis University will hold a remote selection of teams that includes 25 challenges and 7 categories: admin, crypto, forensic, network, ppc, web, joy. The challenges will be connected with virtual maps of the city where teams compete in capturing the territory. The participants who have gained the highest number of points will join the final round.

"This is the first competition for schoolchildren of this format held by Innopolis University. The first day will be task-based (jeopardy) which means that players will receive a set of tasks to find and deliver solutions for. A solution can may a set of symbols or an arbitrary phrase, — explained Alexey Khabibullin, Head of Project-Oriented Olympiads. — Classic (attack-defense) will be the second round of the competition. Each team will get a server or a small network to keep it functioning and guarantee protection. Points are credited for the correct operation of the server service and for information stolen from the opponent's server."
