Can’t wait until Facebook team wins it

For those not in the loop, Google’s team won the Facebook CTF a couple of weeks ago and then used it as an opportunity to advertise Google CTF: https://www.fbctf.com/scoreboard

Seems like I am even more out of the loop; what type of CTF is this? It appears the original article dives right into teams and rules and write ups without explaining what it is all about, which just leaves me even more confused.

There is a link in the "What is the Google CTF?" section that leads to the following:

> Eligibility: The Contest is open to individuals who are (1) over the age of eighteen (18) at the time of entry; (2) not a resident of Quebec, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan, or Crimea; [1] Why Quebec is banned? https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/events/ctf/#!?detail-...

Just guessing: because it's not available in French.

Stringent local laws with respect to competitions.
