Given enough time, we may find out. Does Pwn2Own have any stipulations against 'gaming' their events?

Exploits are already developed prior to the event. It's not a CTF where one can reasonably be expected to find and develop an exploit during the contest. Players get limited time to tweak what they've got in case it doesn't work, but that's it.

Well, my understanding is that there's a submission then various teams are apprised and given x hours to complete, where x would obviously be greater than twenty-four, and not necessarily handled in one setting, such that there'd be a 'reveal' disclosing successful contestants. So it looks like I wasn't mistaken there.

But that still does not address the matter of rigging and whether Pwn2Own has clear rules against it. I don't know, which is why I asked.
