Alan_Alberino Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Very nice project, it would be great to have an event like this in Argentina, we dont have overclocking events here Quote
Crew Trouffman Posted January 16, 2015 Crew Posted January 16, 2015 More informations on how to get to Montreal / the event: Montreal is really accessible by Bus, train , plane or car. By Bus : There are 2 bus station (both downtown) Main bus station ( Berry UQAM ) and Gare Centrale ( Bonnaventure ), the event is located 1 block away from Bonnaventure, so i suggest that you take this one if you have the choice. Tickets and Info : busbud.com By Plane : YUL airport is the only one, the bus navette is pretty efficient, runn 24/7, cost 9$ and that give a day-journey on all buses / metro ). Taxi from airport is about 45$. Tickets and infos : hipmunk.com / google.com/flights By train : Usually a bit more exepensive than bus. The main Train station is : Gare Centrale (Bonnaventure) and is located 1 block away from the event. Tickets and infos : viarail.com By Car : 6H from New York or Toronto. Google maps is your friend. Parking info available on the ETS website (section Parking): http://en.etsmtl.ca/en/Overview/Contact-Us Quote
Johan45 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I will be going in March. This is my first time with anything like this and just wondered if there would be any info available on the World Series. Just curious as to the set-up and how it works I guess. Quote
Crew Xyala Posted January 19, 2015 Crew Posted January 19, 2015 @Johan45 The World Series (non amateur) is a competition that is only accessible to participants. Right now the detailed rules (hardware/ bench) isn't confirmed so I can't tell you what it will be like, but we are aiming at making it something fun and different from the usual (suggestions are always welcome here). The idea is that as we are more events throughout the world, the World Series becomes a global overclocking competition based on Live events. On the practical side, scores will have to be submitted via OC-Esports etc and outsiders will be able to follow the competition as for any other live event. (OC-Esports scoreboard & live-stream) -> And of course this isn't mandatory, and only optional. So it doesn't put a limitation on hardware to bench at the event freestyle wise. ------ @tran You can come and bench what you want. For the Word Series, as mentioned above. It isn't defined yet. We might actually announce it there only to keep the surprise hehe. Quote
Johan45 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Thanks Xyala, that's kind of what I thought for the world series, that It would be a surprise to keep people on an even field. So just bring the best you have in other words. I figured if it was too hardware specific then it could eliminate participants before they even start. I have a question about the amateur side of it. I have a friend interested in attending. They have been benching for a while but have no LN2 hardware. Is the amateur LN2 based or no? And If so do they need their own pots? Quote
Massman Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 The amateur is all air or water, no LN2. It's okay your friend has been benching for a while. For the Amateur competition we exclude only people who have LN2 experience and/or have participated in open overclocking competitions before. Quote
Johan45 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 OK thanks Massman, am I correct in assuming that the amateur competition doesn't require a ticket? Quote
Tran_Bao_ Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 The overclocker can at home and bench right?? @xyala Quote
Johan45 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 That's correct OK thanks, it's an 8 hour drive and I just want to be prepped to save any nasty surprises. Quote
kzinti1 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Why Canada? Too many top OCers in the US for you? Or are you afraid of our police forces? I don't blame you if you are. I am. Quote
MrBreeze Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm in too, going to make the drive up from the states. Very excited for the comp. @massman, @xyala, for participants in the World Series, what outside tools or equipment are allowed? Modded drivers, stripped OS, tweak software? PSUs, coolers or other ancillary hardware? Or none, i.e., everything will be completely standardized? Quote
Crew Trouffman Posted January 23, 2015 Crew Posted January 23, 2015 Hey MrBreeze ! Glad to see you are coming too. Where will you drive from ? Quote
MrBreeze Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Coming up the Northway from New England. 6+ hrs but it'll be worth the drive! Quote
