Tournaments
Sitting down and testing what you learnt is great, but doing it in a group is just so much better and this is why we offer you the possibility to make testing your knowledge a team experience by means of tournaments.
Tournaments are set up and scheduled by the administrator and appear in your Tournaments section once the scheduled time has come to start.
Note
Before you start, verify that WebSockets is running on your browser. For additional information, refer to Creating a Tournament.
Go to the newly added tournament and click <JOIN TOURNAMENT NOW>. You are asked to register by selecting an avatar, assigning a nickname and selecting the framework that you feel most familiar with, for example Java.
Click <JOIN THE TOURNAMENT> to start.
Go through the questions together with your entire team on this tournament. The questions usually consist of code review with multiple choice questions on vulnerability issues in the code. To answer a question, choose the correct answer and click <SUBMIT> within the remaining time according to the timer (in seconds).
Note
You can answer every question only once. Once you click <SUBMIT>, the button turns gray and becomes unavailable.
If you don’t answer within the remaining time according to the timer, the question times out and is considered answered incorrectly.
The answer is processed and the result displayed only after the remaining time has elapsed.
From the menu, select Tournaments. A list of previous tournaments and the tounament you just completed appear. Tournaments that you participated in have a link to your results.
Note
If you have been invited to the tournament, but did not participate, the tournament appears listed as illustrated, but the link to the results is missing.
Click <SEE RESULTS>. The tournament list entry expands and displays the results as listed below.
