Should've posted here earlier! We're having some issues with spammers and for some reason they were all attracted to the Chatbox archive. So now we're trying to find out if the Chatbox is the cause or the Chatbox is a metric. I don't think the chatbox is attracting them specifically, so it's pretty likely it'll come back soon.

What do you mean by "it's not in competition?"

But before we continue let's congratulate Polar79 for winning the lucky draw in the Rookie Rumble #23 and Cjgdsgrc50 for the lucky draw in the Rookie Rumble AMD #20. http://oc-esports.io/#!/article/3156/sergeyr_wins_rookie_rumble_23_kos_s_wins_amd_rumble_20

The Country Cup requires a lot of communication, yes. It is possible (and has happened) that someone blocks another user from contributing because he submitted with multiple hardware. Also, the engine will not find the best combination of scores for you. If you have a 50pts score in category X and 40pts in category Y and another user has 45pts in category X and none in categoy Y, the engine will consider the 50pts your contribution to the country average instead of your friend's 45pts and your 40pts. The Novice Nimble competitions are similar in concept like the Country Cup. Here's a visualization we made for the Novices:

When you upload an XTU from the XTU application, your browser should automatically open to the Analyze page. Is it not working for you?

Lots of good questions here :celebration: Retail hardware only, engineering samples not allowed. Hardware must be launched before the start of the competition. Titan cards are placed in the family they're launched in. So, Titan, Titan Black, Titan-Z => GeForce GTX 700 series Titan X => GeForce 900 series Core i3 6320 has been launched, no restriction due to low availability in the Country Cup. Quadro is considered a separate product family: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocards#key=nvidia_quadro_series Yes. 9800 is GeForce 9000 series; 8800 is GeForce 8800 series 7800 and 7900 are both part of the GeForce 7000 series Correct. I will highlight this on the rules page. Sometimes it's the most obvious things that we forget on the competition page, but just like any other Country Cup, one person can only contribute once to each of the stages. Thanks for highlighting this! (sorry to those with minimal activity in their country, but this is how the Country Cup works) This is correct for all stages, except the first (nvidia hwpts) and last stage (gpupi). Countries are ranked by 1) how many of the required scores have been made and 2) the average score of the relevant subs of the country. So, firstly it's important to make all the submissions, then secondly to get the best average. Yes, there will be heavy bottle-necking by the slower scores. But that's just something you have to take into account when organizing the submissions ... As for the Nvidia stage: as some already pointed out: you need 10 scores by 10 people with 10 graphic cards from different families. What matters is not the benchmark score, but the hardware points. It is up to you to figure out which cards are the best pick for this stage. Correct. There is no distinction between normal, low-power, or so-dimm format. Correct Good question, physical cores only

Haha, that's a funny one. Thanks for the report, fixed! :celebration:

Don't feed the trolls ...

You can use any IGP, the brand doesn't matter. - FM2 and FM2+ are different sockets. - DDR3L and DDR3 both fall under the DDR3 category - Anything you think may work best in the full out stage!

Encouraged?

Correct Lanbonden: GTX 770 -> GeForce 700 series GTX 680 -> GeForce 600 series

Great! Can you add me on Skype to explain how to do it? Mine is: pjplaisierhwbot

The notifications on your wall already do that for regular submissions, but I don't think there's a notification for when you lose competition points. I'll check with development what the workload would be to add this. As a current work around I can make a news post at the start of the month with a list of competitions that will lose points in the coming month. Would that be a good solution already?
