Hacker Jeopardy turns 25 this year, and we're inviting the world's best and

 are conducting qualifying rounds around the world for six of the nine seat
 s for the grand finale in Las Vegas in August 2019, and THOTCON 0xA is our
 fifth stop. Played by three teams of three, contestants compete on skills 
 and knowledge of security, plus earn 100 points for every beer finished du
 ring the round. It's hilarious, stimulating, and more politically correct 
 than most other things you see today. To submit a team, send an e-mail to 
 [email protected], and follow directions in the autoresponder.

Rules

Happy hunting!!!
