BenchBros Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 No complains about submitting results before submission window! Just complaining "The submission window for stage 1 is 2/6/16-2/7/16" and at moment stage 1 is only open for 1 second on 7th Feb Just want to make sure that deadline will be adjusted or other guys upload their score on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 So the submission window is not open? What do you complain about then? I just checked the rules and it says 6-7 so it cannot work P.S. If you can´t submit at due date, leave a note, and nice heads up anyway, this needs clarification bc people thought 48 hours, seems 24 when it is 12-12 UTC from 6th to 7th The intent was for a 48 hour window, I'm trying to get this issue resolved, but I can't do it personally because I have no access to the setup of the page. ( and don't want it either ) I've also got a message in to Massman, but he is still travelling I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted February 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I got messages as well, the 48 hour and the countdown need fix then, good you two did clarification P.S. Have fun, I am looking forward to revamp of this competition series Edited February 5, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted February 6, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I checked the option to submit, it works - please take in that the stage is shown to end at midnight UTC, until this is fixed or changed I would advise to upload as soon as possible to make things foolproof - it was planned different obviously, but let´s make a pro approach and play it safe Edit deadline extended to 12utc 7.02.2016 Edited February 6, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRES2 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello everyone, I would be interested in participating in these stages. I'm new extreme overclocker Octuber since 2015. It is only for elite users? Kind regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted February 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2016 Send a pm to funslinger to see how chances are, but I am not sure this is possible. Try it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) A couple of small updates regarding the Pro Championship. Point distribution: We're going to go to a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 distribution going forward, the minimum points awarded will be 1 point. Non-program participant cash prizes: Cash will be awarded based on the finishing place amongst the non-program participants regardless of where they rank overall in the standings. For example, if we were to use the Stage 1 results as the "end of Round 1" final standings the following payouts would occur: 1st place $400: Dancop 2nd place $200: jones965 3rd place $100: BenchBros Edited February 19, 2016 by Gunslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Couldn't post in the other thread... When does stage 2 open? A time when it opens would be good as the submission window is rather small. Also the ranking (points) from stage 1 seems wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBros Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) It's never good to change rules during a running competition, especially when cash prizes are involved! Rules were not even changed for a running competition, also after a stage was closed and changing points for a closed stage afterwards... why not making everything clear before? What's the reason for changing the rules after stage 1 was closed? Edited February 21, 2016 by BenchBros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the reason for changing the rules after stage 1 was closed? While I agree with you that changing rules after a contest has started is typically not desired, but these changes are in an effort to improve the competition and the experience of those who are participating. The changes are very minor and will only be in effect going forward. The reason for the change is because of 2 concerns voiced by the current participants. 1. People that are competing getting awarded 0 points, hence the 1 point rule. 2. the question was asked, "what are you going to do with the prize money if nobody places in a position to win it?" The money is in the budget to be awarded to the overclockers participating, would you rather I put it in my pocket? Couldn't post in the other thread...When does stage 2 open?

I see you made your submission in time. :celebration: The next stage should open as the timer indicates. The stage 3 window will be open in 13DAYS 16HRS 41MIN Edited February 21, 2016 by Gunslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBros Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 2. the question was asked, "what are you going to do with the prize money if nobody places in a position to win it?" The money is in the budget to be awarded to the overclockers participating, would you rather I put it in my pocket? After Stage 1 enough overclockers were in the position to win it. However... I dont want to complain. I was just wondering why after so many competitions hosted on HWBot there is still a need for adjusting rules after the competition started...

Administrators websmile Posted March 20, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2016 As said, try to submit at eoc at comps "submission" tab, there is a submit score button at lower end of the page, usually still works, or submit at hwbot and add it there. I know you submitted allready, Andi, this is more of a heads up to other contestants at all competitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splave Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 was going to ask if we could extend the timer to sunday night american time (merica) but I suppose thats pointless we can bench all week and just sub at the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 21, 2016 Administrators Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yes, I think this not needed, you can make score before official submission starts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
