One thing to note: if they seperate classes to pro/amatuer/newb, the points will go down accordingly as there will be less submissions to each hardware class. I do feel that the ES stuff should be in a class of its own and not take points away from the real class as far as cups or points, but be allowed as a submission in its own class. Sure there is no fair way to police the rules outright. But those that get free hardware do have a definite advantage over the average joe. I never have the high end equipment, as I cant afford it. Someone that gets free mobo's and chips and maybe video cards has extra money to spend elsewhere on hardware, that is a huge advantage. But I am one of those average joes. Do I expect to compete with the likes of the top 50: no. I do it as a passtime pleasure. Do I care that I am currently 300 in the world: no. I compete the best I can and let the rest fall where they may. One thing I do know is that if I somehow got nice hardware and did make it up the rankings, It would sure make me feel better to know that I did it against the best there is, rather than be 20th in the newb rankings.

thanks, dude, your scores are pretty rightous too. keep on. trying to beat up a 4870x2 now but gotta figure out what it takes to tweak ati cards. alot different than the green
