THEIR RULES:
Welcome to Forum Wars 2007
- There have been a few changes since last year, so please read on...
- We have added the "Ultra Extreme(UE)" Class for ES,extreme cooling & unreleased hardware.
- We have Reduced the number of players per team to 4.
- Added a few more bench's and a big name sponsor (GEIL Memory)
20 players is your Forum's Ideal Number. Why???
It's better in the overall ranking to have some rigs on the C, D & E teams because all the rankings from those teams are part of the puzzle of winning the Overall. You want to have your teams balanced... Getting the #1 Ranking in the B Competition is great, but if you took a good rig from your B Team and moved it to your C or D Team you might go up a few spots in the rankings for Overall Winner. So there's a little bit of stratagy going on for the Forum Leaders.
There is plenty of room for all to play, but Teams (A,B,C,D,E) only count toward the "Overall Winner".
Teams B,C,D,E,F,G... etc will all play for the "B Crown"
"A Teams" for the "A Crown"
"Ultra Exreme (UE)" for the "UE Crown"

- A thru E Teams on down are 4 man teams.
- Quadcores will not be allowed in the C thru F classes.
- NO UPGRADES during the contest, None... Period! (But RMA's are ok, subject to validation for the same hardware).
- 2 Rigs are allowed per player...
- But you cannot have them both on the "A Team" and the 2nd Rig must have a different CPU and Reduced VGA.
- Reduced VGA means if you use SLI, you cannot use the same set up on your 2nd Rig, you can only use 1 card.
- But if you have a lesser set of VGA cards... thats OK!
- Conventional cooling is defined as... Air, Water, Chiller & Peltier (above 0c/32f)
- Phase (Vapo), LN2, DICE & Cascades are ONLY allowed in the Ultra Extreme (UE) Class.
Forum Police can deny any posted score if not properly submitted (see how to post below)The Forum Admins are the local Judges and the forum Police will vote on Questionable scores at "TRP" in the "Forum Wars Admin" Forum. This forum will be password protected.

An "Forum player entry thread" to Recruit Players and Cops
And of coarse... a passworded private forum for your players only
