What he means is that the second or third gets nearly nothing...The gap between points is to big. It should be like many said before: 3;2.8;2.6;2.4.........

Because of that you get not so much Points but not 0.1 ! If there are not so many Submissions those Submissions just dont get so much Points but there has to be a bottom limit so people are motivated to bench it... The next Point is that the points shouldn´t decrease like 3; 2; 1 and the other 20 people just get 0.1 Points. It should be like the 3;2,5;2 and so on.... The next point is that 0.1 Points for every score is just ironic to the effort some people have to be #1 because you can bench without tweaks on your 24/7 Sys. on stock-clock and still you get 0.1 Points...

Could be but if there are not enough people competing in this competition because of the fact that they wont get any special points for benching oldies, those categories wont get much popular...

Thats what i mean...I sure did a lot with tweaks, tweaked OS and sometimes hours finding the best config. for the sys. but its all not necessary anymore because either you take first place and get some points or you just get 0.1 points...

Good think but its just about achievements ! Like "der8auer" said, you should reward non common HW a bit more, if not nobody is going to buy respectively bench it.

The most annoying thing is that "Oldie-Benches" are not profitable anymore...All my points are nearly useless because now the most submissions count as 0.1 Points and not like before as 2 or 3 for third Place for example. So the main point is that benching "Oldies" is useless because who wants to buy a Athlon XP if the highest Score youre able to earn is 2 Points ? And if you place at third or 5. you just get 0.1 Points....
