+</section><section id="how-do-i-sign-up"> |
+<h2 id="how-do-i-sign-up">How do I sign up?</h2> |
+<p>The first thing you need to do is to register. Then you and your team |
+members (if any) will receive an email from our team asking you to |
+review and accept the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/community/security-contest/contest-terms.html"><em>Terms and Conditions</em></a>:doc:` of the contest <contest-terms>`. Once everyone |
+from your team has accepted the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/community/security-contest/contest-terms.html"><em>Terms and Conditions</em></a> you can start submitting bugs through the Native |
+Client issue tracker. You should not submit any bugs as part of your |
+contest entries until everyone on your team has accepted the |
+<a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/community/security-contest/contest-terms.html"><em>Terms and Conditions</em></a>, as those bugs will not be |
+eligible for consideration in the contest.</p> |

+<p>After you register yourself or your team and every member of your team |
+has accepted the <a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/community/security-contest/contest-terms.html"><em>Terms and Conditions</em></a>, download |
+the latest build of Native Client, attack it, and identify security |
+exploits. Submit these bugs through our Native Client Issue Tracker as |
+quickly as you can, as you will only get credit for exploits that are |
+first reported by yourself or your team. Before the end of the |
+contest, you will need to submit a summary with the top 10 exploits |
+you identified. Our judges will review submitted summaries and will |
+select the top 5 contestants.</p> |

+<p>You should include a maximum of 10 issues that you and your team |

+recommend that you carefully review the judging criteria in the |
+<a class="reference internal" href="/native-client/community/security-contest/contest-terms.html"><em>Terms and Conditions</em></a> to identify which bugs are |
+more likely to be perceived as high impact from our judges and could |
+help you win one of the five cash prizes. Do not include issues that |
+have been marked as duplicates or unverifiable, as these will not be |
+taken into account by our judges.</p> |

+<p>We want to make sure that we use our judges’ time wisely. Rather than |

+identified with the same automatic process, we are limiting the number |

+<p>We are updating Native Client’s source code to fix bugs reported by |
+contest participants or exploits identified by our team. Our goal is |
+to protect contestants and other users of the Native Client software |
+from exploits that could damage their system. In addition, by updating |
+our builds, we will be providing you with more opportunities to find |
+new security bugs. Finally, we believe this will make the contest more |
+interesting by continuously raising the bar of bug finding.</p> |

+based on the following criteria: a) Quality (Severity, Scope, |
+Reliability and Style) and b) Quantity. Each panel will evaluate a |
+number of the submitted summaries and will select the highest ranking |
+Summaries to move to the next level of judging. Those top Summaries |
+will then be evaluated by all Judges using the same Criteria, and the |
+top five Summaries will be selected as potential winners. For more |
