Hmm, i see the resolved url is https://sslhwbot.org/js/exf2.js, which is obviously wrong. Don't know how the ssl got in there. - edit: found it! Pushing fix to production servers - edit: nope, i think there is a reference to sslhwbot on your end. Can you check?

Good question, I'll check as soon as I have some time. Is there a place I can check your integration?

Well our last contractual obligations have ended recently, so I'm no longer under legal obligation to focus on oc-esports competitions. That gives us much more options to clean house than in the past. ?

A point algorithm which can be explained to a 5 year old, and not require a 37 page pdf.

Already applied to all previous country cups not to redirect to oc-esports.io and use the blue scheme: http://hwbot.org/competition/country_cup_2017

I would not mind, one less thing for me to maintain. ?

Congrats Dan! ?

Overclocking TV is not at computex afaik. ? 10 minutes to go, Alex@ro in the lead:

Geekbench3 - Multi Core - MEM 3.2Ghz CPU 5Ghz will be the deciding stage!

If we would change the complex algorithm for something simple & easy to understand, it would be on the roadmap of 2019. I agree rev7.1 has wonky here and there but overhauling the algorithm twice in one year would only increase confusion. As far as I see there are some edge cases where a "good" ranking can be fucked up (if anyone can reproduce it on the uat.hwbot.org server, please do!), and the logic to detect whether a submissions is a "best submission" for the user has a few holes in it too, but this is not due to rev7.1.

Dancop is currently in the lead with 8 points, but Alex@ro has beaten him in the first 2 stages already!

Every time i brought up the discussion with PJ that hwbot rev 4/5/6/7 is too complex to understand or maintain, the main counter argument was that a simple and understandable algorithm encourages hw sharing and encourages quantity over quality submissions. He had a good point. The subscription fee is not deemed viable for hwbot. The server infrastructure alone costs about 10k a year (and thats after the rev7 optimization, it used to be +15k).

Sounds right but why has no-one noticed this in the past few years? ?TPP is not really a new concept.

You guys are correct, the team power points are calculated no matter whether the application is marked as global/hw points or not. It has been so since conception of TPP though... shall I change this or not?

checking code...

The screenshot limitation was not rendered for some reason. I've removed it and added it again, now it is displayed on oc-esports.

I found and fixed a major issue in the code that decides whether the submission is the best global submission for that user or not. Seems that fixed your submission, ksateaaa23.

Did you make an incorrect submission for the same benchmark and delete/edit it in the past 2 days? Anything else you can think of why it would no longer be marked as best submission?

Yes, if the submissions is not marked as "best score for this user in this ranking", you will see the link. But the link will not work if there is no better score. The code to detect best score is wonky.

The submission is not marked your best (global) submission, but it is your best hw submission. I think this is incorrect. You used to have global points for this?

Our forums have also been updated to be GDPR compliant

Any ideas how a ranking becomes screwed? - edit: When thinkering on UAT with submit/edit/delete functionality I noticed the rankings don't fully update or deadlock when you modify your score after submission. I've improved this and patched it to production.

It is technically feasible but requires custom development of a vbulletin plugin. Can't be too hard, but I need to find some time.

If we handle subscription via invisionpb, yes, but we use the invisionpb API to create users which does not have this functionality. The use of this API is needed if we want one unified source of comments (commenting on hwbot is the same as commenting on the forums), which I find a huge benefit.

Due to the massive inflow of asian spambots, we had to disable forum registration at the moment. It seems they have defeated the google captcha check. The only way for new members to enable a forum account is to go to http://hwbot.org/profile/ and choose a password and login.
