One overclocker per country in Class A and B.

 

Question:

Does this mean:

1) Maximum 2(two) person of same country qualified, one from class A, one from class B.

 

or

 

2) Maximum one person of same country qualified for MOA, either from Class A or Class B.(And in this case of one person only, if there's 2 candidates,one from class A and one class B from one country, which one got qualified?)

 

Thanks,

Why only one per country :( If for example 2 german in Top 6 only 1 can go?

 

If they compete in the same class, then yes only 1 can go.

Rule like this has been around for quite a long time, and it might meant to make the contestant more 'diverse' across countries. You can still make 2 Germans pass though, you can compete one in class A, one in Class B :)

Hi guys...

 

CLASS A QUALIFIER RULES

 

Any MSI Z97 motherboard.

Use 1 CPU. Server CPUs (Xeon, Opteron) not allowed.

Any MSI R9 series graphics card. Single GPU.

External power circuit disallowed.

 

CLASS B QUALIFIER RULES

 

Any MSI Z87, Z97 motherboard. (LGA 1150)

Intel Pentium G3258 CPU. Use 1 CPU. Server CPUs not allowed.

GTX 750 graphics card allowed. Single GPU.

Please download the LN2 BIOS and Afterburner Extreme here.

External power circuit allowed.

Only use hardware that is available for retail.

This competition is between Members. Employee (either full-time or part-time) of any motherboard manufacturers is not eligible for the contest.

 

Are those requirements right? I mean...for the class?. Any way, I have some questions:

 

1) Only R9 is allowed for class A? Or can I use nVidia models...

2) This is not very clear for me: "The top 18 overclockers from different classes and regions will be invited to the MOA 2014 Grand Final. Only the highest ranked participant per country (for each round) will get a ticket to Grand Final." The total of participants in the final (On Taiwan I guess) will be 18? The 18 top will travel to the final?

No EPower needed for class A since 290X Lightning is available.

 

 

1. Only AMD R9 models. So R9 290X reference or Lightning if you want to have a real chance.

 

2. The top 18 will go to the final. However maximum 1 per country (2 if 1 x A and 1 x B) and 4x AM, 6x EMEA, 5x APAC

Crap, too much money.

 

1) That Lightning is on 680 USD on Newegg, plus 80-100 USD more fro shipping to my country.

2) Another 600 on mobo and CPU (only one CPU) plus shipping

3) A cheap SSD

4) Maybe PSU too...

 

I think that I would have to cross my fingers again and wait that Tom's send me again to cover the event...if that can happen....xD
