  1. The issue is the way it kills hw, I've never heard of benches that run no problem, you can save scores etc, then shut down after the session, but when you try to use the CPU again it's dead. That seems off to me, but maybe it happens with other benches as well? Killing a CPU whilst benching is fair enough, them dying after benching whilst off seems wrong.

    Yes

    I agree that is not relative to the point algorithm.

     

    But it's an example of "not fair handle" in between similar facts about team points.

    In case 1 , we dont want TPP from inactive members

    In case 2 , we award teams with HTPP and GTPP , for non existent benchmarks and buggy benchmarks too.

     

    I dont know if you undestand what i'm trying to say here.

    EDIT : i was referring to ucbench and hwbot prime

     

     

     

     

    I see your point and agree, in that if you're going to remove TPP from inactive members, TPP in general should be looked at (in terms of what benches get it, much in the same way it's regularly looked at for hw and global points)

    I'd rather be competing with ice buckets/chillers than people on SS/cascade/dice in the "non-LN2" league with some of the proposals put forward here.

    But you're already competing with those people, everyone competes with everyone? You can filter the rankings to only include certain types of cooling if you want to, change leagues/league names doesn't change the number of points people have relative to each other. If you were 2nd in apprentice league, you'd still be 2nd out of people just using 'apprentice' cooling even if the apprentice league was no longer a thing, just that ranking wouldn't appear on your profile, just the overall ranking no?

  4. Because one of the main issues with the league split is verifying the cooling, and since if you can't verify the cooling, it nullifies the point of the league split.

     

    Maybe if all achievements were changed from xth position in league to xxxx points people wouldn't mind? If you're improving your points and your overall position, why does it matter if it's out of a small subset or the total group?

    Why should I bother to compete if there is no "Apprentice" league?  It's even worse for enthusiasts who use no active cooling.  In my opinion,  mixing the cooling techniques into one league does not force enthusiasts and apprentices to upgrade to LN2, it forces us out of competition.

    When I used my SS for the first time I was put in extreme, competing against LN2 etc, obviously I had no chance, but I was still improving my own ranking.

    Your points won't change, just everyone will be ranked together (excluding elite).

    Depends how much people care about being #1 in Enthusiast/Apprentice etc, rather than just being compared to everyone, and which matters more, rank or number of points.

  6. From memory, there were 2/3 leagues when I joined (extreme and not, and then maybe sponsored).

    When I came back there were suddenly many more, whilst I understand it to a degree, as others have said, proving cooling is a nightmare, and probably causes more issues than it solves.

    I do think it might be nice keeping the novice/rookie league, as a way for new members to have a more granular/relevant ranking.

    One can argue if you did the 100m sprint in 8 sec last year, but did it in 9 sec this year, you are not better than someone who did it in 8.5 sec this year. :)

    I know the comparison does not fully make sense, but still a topic that can be discussed.

    True, but the argument I was saying was if you ran it 8.2 this year, you beat them, but since you didn't beat your best ever it wouldn't count?

    Unless I'm misunderstanding how the points would be calculated in which case ignore me :D
