The National Cyber League (NCL) was founded in May 2011 to provide an ongoing virtual training ground for collegiate students to develop, practice, and validate their cybersecurity skills. Using lab exercises designed around industry-recognized performance-based exam objectives and aligned with individual and team games, the NCL is a first-of-its-kind ongoing experiment in learning and gaming using next-generation high-fidelity simulation environments. The competition consist of a one week qualifier to determine your bracket. Brackets are gold, silver, bronze, pewter. This is then followed with two games lasting 3 hours each. Your total combined score after both games determines your rank within your bracket.
