It has concluded for this run, as for linking a post. I am currently working on a google doc similar to our haswell over clocking results thread. So I won't have to manually input all the scores. Having it more automated will make it easier to add more detail to the leaderboard.Did I miss something? So the competition is over now? Anyway, I think how it went down was good Depending on the effort you already have with organizing this competition, I would have liked to see the post# linked to the current leader board, so you can see what your competitors did. This is optional and only a minor thing I would have liked to see.
@ ED I see your point, partly. However you would have been beaten by the same person if he joined from the start, too, so no real difference there? I think limiting the time to join is not a good idea. People like me, joined later but as you yourself pointed out you want people to join the benching team and if you exclude people who missed the date, they won't get interested in benching.
As for the speedcap, I personally didn't bother about people with better HW however I like the idea of being able to compete against them
Bear with me if I totally miss the point here
Then you get into a grey area on sharing secrets. Part of the reason some of the tweaks remain secret are to get people to join the team and to give them that last little push/access to all the resources we have in order to help the team maximize boints.
If you're up for doing some research you can put a different speed cap on Intel vs AMD and take the two classes out.
For SPI1M it'd be something like a 5GHz AMD cap and a 3700MHz Intel cap, but it's still a possibility. I considered it last year but never got around to testing.
I got you wrong in the first place, now I see what you mean. I thought got beaten in overall ranking. However getting beating in single runs by someone who can't win overall, depriving you of the chance of winning overall due to those losses messes the leaderboard. Then you are absolutly rightIt is absolutely true I would have gotten beat if they joined from the start. For me personally, it just took the wind out of my sails to know who has what, and what I am competing against to suddenly get knocked out of the running by someone that has no chance to place overall since they missed a few competitions. It messes with the overall rank when someone joins late with good hardware under this setup.
A sub comp will never get as many submissions as the main. If its in the rules, all will have to follow it. This can also bring in more people as a common complaint in the threads were that they didn't have the hardware or cooling to compete. If you limit the clock to a tangible ambient value, there should be less (ok different, LOL!) complaints and more participation since nearly everyone has a chance.To the people who want a speed limit, during the 32m competition, I started a 5ghz thread which only received 3 submissions, with one being mine..
