Flagbase concepts
Competition
A Competition is a single jeopardy-style CTF event. One instance of Flagbase corresponds to one Competition.
Challenge
A Challenge is a problem in a Competition. It either has a flag, or a grading script. It has a fixed number of points.
Team
A Team is a participant in a Competition. A Team can have multiple members, or a single member. Flagbase does not keep track of team membership.
ScoreAdjustment
Teams can score points in a Competition in two ways: they can either solve Challenges, or have ScoreAdjustments set on them. ScoreAdjustments are arbitrary point adjustments set by an AdminUser. They can be either positive or negative.
AdminUser
In the administrative interface, an AdminUser is an authorized user who can perform certain maintenance actions on the Competition, Challenges, and Teams. These actions can also be performed by the ctftool script, so an AdminUser can also be considered someone with access to the database.
