I believe it's only 7 onwards.

Killer!

Epic that you're doing it at a LAN party! :D

Just as a side note you can view those quite easily

Spreading the audience even more thinly? Haha, I'll pop in.

1 and 2 are equal to me. Both sandbagging. Having to verify all new subs is just not feasible, sure front page stuff can be quickly checked but checking all new subs made each day just isn't going to happen. Also adding more rules will probably cause people issues, people want simplicity remember? (One of the attractions of BM I believe?)

Agree with @KaRtA Competition points are naturally seasonal, so to me seasonal rankings should just be competition stuff, keeps things simple and clear in my opinion.

Now it's over fancy letting me know what I was obviously missing? Haha

"Verification link: Verification link required for Global Top 20" From: https://hwbot.org/news/875_application_2_rules/

Nice one :)

Being sponsored doesn't matter if others are willing to spend a lot of time.and money. What a out those who can't afford to buy the latest CPUs, maybe there should be another league just for older/cheaper hw? This is a discussion which has been had before, when I joined there were 3 leagues, elite, extreme and enthusiast. As soon as you tried subzero you were up against LN2, didn't stop me because I found it fun. I'd you're not finding it fun, take a step back and see how you could change things to enjoy it more. If points are all you care about, then it's time to go cold

Hah thanks guys, definitely should be able to do more than this but I've forgotten everything so gave up after a while haha. Might be able to squeeze in another go but unlikely, the new Intel opencl is definitely cheating though ?

As _mat_ pointed out, there's nothing stopping you running GB without benchmate as usual. Can we try to remain civil.

Killer.

Killer work well done!

Great work!!!

Not bad I guess :D

Welcome to hwbot competitions haha

Would be great to see some stuff from you guys

Prizes tended to cause more trouble than they were worth I think. Getting new users just due to prizes isn't great, as xtu has shown more users aren't always better, far better to have 1 active new her than 10 users taking part in a comp just for a prize than nothing in my opinion. There were no comps/prizes when I got involved, not sure why suddenly they're needed now. Damn kids.

Nothing is forcing you to bench certain things etc, if you don't care about points then bench whatever, if you do then you play the game, doesn't seem outrageous to me? Also career ranking doesn't really stagnate that much if you have a decent base of submissions, so not that surprising you haven't dropped a huge amount, if you don't think it a challenge feel free to come back to grab #1 to prove your point If you were having to bench intel for sponsorship stuff, then that's even less of a valid point

Yeah you'll struggle to get much from them near Christmas/new year, unless you want to pay more and go on as a proper customer with them. If you're getting enough it can work out, and should be able to choose delivery dates I think.

Starting over locking to get better performance in Crysis, found myself enjoying the tweaking more than playing the game. Then found out about hwbot and benchtec, where it became a slippery slope as I enjoyed the competition of the rankings and climbing the leaderboards. Got a SS from a benchtec member and then eventually tried LN2. Had a big break and am currently on another, but no doubt will become active again, mostly for the rankings/leaderboards Prefer the career stuff as I tend to come and go and don't like the time limited nature of seasonal/competitions.

Read the op.
