What happens to the feature to remove a submission from a contest by clicking a button in the upper right corner of the score page?

Now we have to delete a score completely and submit again without linking to the contest...

 

Is there a reason why this feature was removed? :)

 

It was removed a while ago because sometimes people remove submissions from competitions after the competition closed for "strategical" purposes.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but with stage 1 if you have submitted a score with "x" GPU before and scored "X" points at that time and now run it again for this comp and score lower HW points it will not count. I can see some difficulty in it with HW points being doubled up so to speak on someone's overall ranking, but if you can't beat your previous score for what ever reason than that person/country could be at a big disadvantage.

 

Edit - Deleting said old score doesn't work either.

Is it not possible to enable this feature only when a comp is running? So when comp ends this feature will be disabled for all linked scores.

 

Especially during Country Cup its very strategic and its hard to contact a staff every time we want/need to remove a score. In the last hours of CC its gonna be hard to find the best combination of scores.

 

Or some minutes ago there was a bug in Stage 1 engine... so Strunkenbold removed a score for us to get Stage 1 in line again.

 

Removing a score form a competition, but keeping points for personal account would be really great. Now we have to delete score completely and upload it again :)

The reason why this happens is because the verification screenshot is attached as system picture. For the competition, we have an automatic check that looks if a verification screenshot is attached to the submission.

 

For XTU it's a bit of a pickle because the submission process is typically via the XTU software, which doesn't give the option to add a verification screenshot. For competitions, a manual submission is better because the form gives you the option to add a verification screenshot.

 

Let me fix the submission for ya, Bassplayer.

Stage 3 - Geekbench - URL required or not?

In HWBot general rules its mandantory, but in stage rules only screenshot is needed...

From the comments for the rules:

"GENIEBEN SAYS:

Well I can see why it's confusing. If you use the paid version that displays the score inside the app, then there is no need for a verification link. But if it's the freeware version that sends the score online, we'd have to see it's not a user generated html page with bogus scores."

Yes, I know why there is a need for a Competition Background!

But in Stage 4 there is no rule to use this wallpaper... also there is no general rule to use the official Wallpaper in all stages.

We just have the case in Germany, that one bencher (new to hwbot and not very experienced) didn't used the competition background because he checked the general competition rules, the general XTU rules and stage 4 rules (this is by far more than other new people check!) and didn't found any hint for the wallpaper rule. So he uploaded his score... Now we have to say that his score is not valid and he is not really amused. For us it's really clear that any new comp will have a new wallpaper, but for new benchers its not really clear ;)

 

I just wanted to clarify, that XTU rules are not OK at the moment :)
