Epilogue

This has been an extremely successful run! In total we had more than 900 teams with nearly 2000 contestants participate from more than 10 different countries across the globe, a substantial increase compared to last year(8 folds). We received a total of 2481 submissions during the standard round. Therefore the LIT Organizers want to thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm! It really means a lot to see people come and take part in this incredible journey. We hope you enjoyed all of our problems and learned something along the way.

We would also like a say a huge thank you to Jason Gonzalez and Eric Yang from the CTF team PeanutButter.jar. Not only did they write many of the high quality problems, but they also guided us in the general hosting process. The CTF round would not have been possible without their help. They are actually hosting their own CTF contest in late August, so if you liked our tournament, you should definitely check them out as well!

Thank you all so much for coming, and we hope to see you again next year (in either Spring or next Summer)!
