Most golden samples are ES, (most not all) and or special manuf samples (IE gigaboost special 5870 ic's)
Disallowing any and all ES scores would quash most of the current issues.
I dont care if there is a n00b league, thats fine, hell I think its great. People will buy the more efficient boards and reward the better companies. I just think that either way this will not work. Limiting cooling will still allow the best samples to clock the highest! Limiting clock speed is not only too cheatable but you're not over clocking then....You are software tweaking which yes is good to an extent but it takes away from focusing on the hardware which should be the key factor in what we are doing. Last time I checked this isnt software SWbot.org
