The Maritime Capture the Flag (MCTF) Competition addresses the problem of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for playing a multi-player Capture-the-Flag game within a real-time simulation of a maritime gaming environment. Participants are invited to submit software code in Python for three agents that can play the game as a team against an opponent team, while maximizing their team's score. Example code for training agents to play MCTF using the RLlib MARL library and for testing trained agent policies against baseline opponent strategies are included in the provided code repository.
