In 2004 a workshop was held in San Antonio, TX to discuss the possibility of establishing a national collegiate cyber security competition. Academicians and students from across the nation were invited to share their ideas on how such a competition should be conducted. The final report from this workshop included a number of recommendations and described a general consensus among the participants that such an event should be pursued. Several participants from the Texas school presents agreed to develop a regional competition which was held in March of 2005.
