rbuass Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I see no the order of the points... how can MSI choose?... Eg... 1° 50 points, 2° 43 points, 3° 37 points and so on... will be confused without this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ah, good point. I'll add this to the competition page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob(nz) Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Post a score someone! Haha - I thought it was only Aussies that sandbagged I still think there should be 1 or 2 elimination points over the course of the month, would at least flush out the participants and keep the scores flowing....

Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yeah, good point. Combining multiple elimination points with an earlier release of the competition details like contest background should work. Especially since people need to prepare for competitions (acquire hardware, get some competition results, etc). That will require some long-term planning though .

gnidaol Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 There are two other possibilities as well that could work: Average score through four weeks (best score of each week) builds your final score. That would make everyone push it hard all the time. Or maybe announce and release the wallpaper with one month in advance but make it just one week to submit scores with some elimination point in the middle of it as well.

Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I like that idea, Iuri! Maybe Average is not the right metric (it's always skewed towards the lowest score). Best of three would work I suppose. Definitely something to investigate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Complicate more qualifier, great idea. Considering bunnyextraction hw availability, great support of competition hosts (like giving special soft/bios in the middle/in the end of competition) and considering most of ocers work for living, during summer time a lot of guys plan vacations... add to this ln2 costs... and also risking golden samples of very rare hw like good Haswells? The only good way of making people to post results during whole qualifier are weekly prizes, good prizes, like in HOT qualifier last year. Not some other crap, cause more stupid/complicated rules will demotivate ocers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob(nz) Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 haha - fair enough XA - I agree it shouldnt be overcomplicated - but waiting a month for people to show their hands doesnt help the competition either - last years elimination round after 2 weeks I thought worked well - but of course cash works better!!!!!

redmax Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 If people are doing this for the cash or need an physical incentive to post scores then they are doing this for the wrong reason. Sure, you will get more people submitting if you get away but, only to win something they likely already have. (remember MSI giving away MSI hardware and requiring MSI hardware to complete?). I actually liked the requirement to submit by the halfway point. It doesn't even have to be an elimination but a line in the sand saying there will be X number of players in this competition. Odds can then be set by the boys in Vegas and then we will have a race. If anything the incentive could also be two points per bench, those points could be the difference between 3rd or 4th if someone submits a sandbag score at the very end.

Crew Vivi Posted July 22, 2014 Author Crew Share Posted July 22, 2014 yes agree! weekly prizes bring out scores soon, and also newer people get involved cause they can count on some pro's that wont submit early and sneak in a early bird score. look at catzilla contest, only 3 ln2 results, cause there was only a first place prize. so people didnt bother posting unless they thought they were gonna win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CL3P20 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If you want to know who/what your up against in a comp.. isnt the best strategy to go cold and post results? You have to jump out and lead for others to follow... No point on posting place holders unless they are the 'best' placeholders you have from said cooling method and session.. otherwise comp becomes compilation of bunny scores until the last week/days ..

I.nfraR.ed Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I agree CL3P20, but I don't have any scores yet. Even on air. Not that I have any chance with that bunnyextractionty cpu. Trying 32M now. We will see the scores from the aisan guys in the end and it will be game over for me anyway . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
