     <h2>About time</h2>
     <p>
       Many Capture The Flag contests attempt to reward teams who answer
-      quickly with more points, by adding a "quick answer" bonus or
-      decaying point values over time.  Our contest doesn't work this
-      way.

-      We believe that given enough things to work on, quick-moving teams
-      will emerge with more points by answering more questions; while
-      providing novice teams a realistic picture of how they're doing.
-      In addition, when the game infrastructure goes down—which seems to
-      happen a lot in anybody's CTF—there's no losing points while the
-      organizers struggle to get things back up.
+      We want to focus on rewarding technical proficiency, allowing
+      skilled contestants to prove their worth independant of their
+      ability to hit F5 quickly.  It is our hope that by providing
+      enough things to work on, quick-moving teams will emerge with more
+      points by solving lots of puzzles, while novice teams get a solid
+      benchmark against which to judge their technical skill level: you
+      don't have to make allowances for reaction time in comparing
+      scores.  In addition, when the game infrastructure goes down—which
+      seems to happen a lot in anybody's CTF—there's no losing points
+      while the organizers struggle to get things back up.
