A system and method are disclosed for automatic management of a capture-the-flag competition and the visual display of the scoring thereof. The system includes a team-specific virtual control system with flags distributed throughout it, a scoring component for receiving the flags and tracking the score for the teams of the competition, and a physical model for visually displaying the completed challenges of the competition on the physical model. The physical model may rotate through display states that each depict the completed challenges for a particular team.
