  1. I"m not sure if this idea has been floated before, but it might be worth looking into and developing if the coding can be done on HWbot's side.

     

    To prevent sandbagging, you want people to submit their best scores when they have them, right? Make others constantly improve, then you have to as well to fight of the other scores.

     

    What I'm thinking is a system where the points are only partially based on the final score, but also weighted to who had that score the longest? ie: If Germany has the top 3DMark 11 Performance Full Out score for the whole comp, and in the last minute, USA sandbags a better score, award Germany 99% of some arbitrary points, whilst still acknowledging that USA won.

     

    I envision it as teams constantly battling to hold onto the top spot (or places, since it should scale) and hold it for the longest.

     

    It would present a case to overclockers to submit better scores, to hold off the competition, whilst still allowing some sandbagging to instantly take back a top place, until one is out of top scores.

     

    Working out the split in total scores for winning and stage, and time leading a stage will have to be thought out by someone that's not me.

     

    Thoughts?

     

    If you did your best, I don't see sandbagging as a problem, other than feelings hurt (like yey we won, oh wait, we didn't). Do the best you can, post when you want, it's part of the whole thing. Sometimes it's not even sandbaging per se, rather a safe score so that you at least have a submission if the hardware die on you. I think most people then actually do bench to the last second.

     

    I'm used to this since we had Swedish Championship every year like 10 years ago, and it was the same back then :)
