Recommended Eligibility Participation:

The Season VI, US Cyber Combine will run from July 9th – August 31st, and is designed with three (3) intentions in mind:

1. To provide athletes with an extended opportunity to develop their cybersecurity competition skills and use of common tools/ practices.
2. To provide athletes with an opportunity to network with other applicants, and to be observed by/ build relationships with coaches, mentors, and staff.
3. To provide athletes with an opportunity to test their technical competencies against peers, quantitatively rank their skills, and showcase them to coaches, mentors, and staff.
