📜Escalation Process

Overview

After the judging phase, the escalation process starts. If a finding was judged and the security researcher that submitted the issue doesn't agree with the severity given, they can appeal for an escalation process and provide extra information justifying the appeal.

Each security researcher can only escalate issues submitted by themselves, and if invalid, will be penalized $100 from their future credit of potential earnings from the competition.

Here's a tutorial on how to initiate an escalation on your finding:
