Finals

We will provide RIT campus parking passes for those teams which are driving or have decided to pay for their own rental vehicle.  Please let us know prior to arrival what parking accommodations you will need. J lot and S lot are closest to the locations of the events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We will be using the finalized rosters submitted in the https://scoring.cp.tc portal.  Rosters are considered finalized from active team members at regionals.  Any changes, such as alternate swaps, must be requested via email. Consider any impacts that team member changes may have on travel arrangements, as it is often not possible to change flights once they are booked.

We allow each participating team to bring six competitors (see here for how rosters are finalized) and one coach. Alternates, who are not being elevated to full competitor, are not permitted to travel to or participate in the International Finals event. We may allow other full time staff (such as advisors, department heads, etc.) to travel to finals at the expense of your university.

All rules will be in effect for the entire duration of the event. Please review the official rules for details on what is and is not permitted. If you require an exception for any reason, please reach out to our team and we’ll make every attempt to make accommodations for your need.

The competition events will primarily take place at the Global Cybersecurity Institute (GCI) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (https://www.rit.edu/cybersecurity/). There may be other locations on campus that will be used for events which will be announced during the event. This building has extensive telepresence and video conferencing capabilities which will be leveraged to provide a consistent experience for both remote and in-person portions of the event.

An interactive map of RIT’s campus is available at https://maps.rit.edu/

We will be planning a banquet (logistics and health and safety protocols to be determined) on Friday evening at the RIT Inn and Conference Center. There will also be opportunities to meet with representatives of CPTC sponsors, volunteers, and other teams during the event.

CPTC events are considered professional interactions with an actual client.  Students should keep this in mind when planning for their attendance at the event, the team banquet, and presentations.

No, the awards presentation is for competitors, coaches, sponsors, volunteers, and staff only.  We will endeavour to provide a stream for those that wish to watch the event remotely.
