Dynamic Scoring

You can opt to enable dynamic scoring for a challenge by enabling the Dynamic Scoring option in the create/edit challenge page.

• Solves to Minimum is the number of solves till the challenge decays to the minimum score
• Minimum Points is the minimum points a challenge can decay to
• Initial Points is the initial amount of points of a challenge before any decay

Dynamic scoring is implemented based on ctfd's parabolic decay formula here.

If you choose this option, the Challenge Points field value will be disabled. It will be calculated based on the current no. of solves and the parameters you entered for this challenge.
