In nearly all CTF competitions organizers spend dozens of hours creating challenges that are compiled once with no thought for variation or alternate deployments. For example, a challenge may hard-code in a flag, making it hard to change later, or hard-code in a system-specific resource. At ForAllSecure, we are working to build automatically generated challenges from templates.
