Massman Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Good question. There is security over night, but I will check what they recommend. Monitors are confirmed as well. Guys, if you're joining the event, book your ticket as soon as possible. We're arranging the monitors on a "need" basis ... If you book on the Monday, it's going to be difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWeez Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 will book and pay as soon as confirmation of flights is done dude next day or two, sorrys for the delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Another small update! The qualifiers will not be limited in frequency. Since the platform is new for everyone (*wink*) and the hardware is provided, it'll be a full-out-full-on qualifier. So, for all the critics out there: qualifier is "full-out", with "cash prize" and "provided hardware" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can we use our high binned 6950X (ES or retails doesn't matter, unlimited resources FTW) for qualifiers or only CPUs provided by HWBOT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Only CPUs provided by us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Only CPUs provided by us +1 Because, what'd be the fucking point if prebinned are allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) oh dont worry, he who has best cpu will still win. unless hwbot is going to pre-bin all chips and ensure they're about the same clock. Which I presume is not going to happen. edit. well, shit. look at that. Edited May 5, 2016 by zeropluszero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 We will pre-bin (as much as possible) At the end of the day the CPUs are to be returned and will be re-drawn for the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Any backups are provided? or can we use private mobo as backup for instance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can we pre-ban XA? Especially since it sounds like he'll have prior BW-E experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtsurfer Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can we pre-ban XA?Especially since it sounds like he'll have prior BW-E experience? Quite some people there will have prior experience. Hence the choice of BW-E is bad IMO. I'm not gonna be there, but just my 2 cents. [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Addict Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Well I don't have any idea what CPUs will be provided by HWBOT (I am guessing 6950X - BDW-E, maybe lower model) and I haven't seen any BDW-E actions despite the leaks on OCN I am just asking questions (or call it trolling) to see if it's worth to buy a ticket for a world tour As far I know retails are already being delivered to shops/distributions, so binners with good access can already prepare their wallets. Regarding motherboard backup - X99 retail motherboards are with us almost 2 years now? And BIOSes are ready/working already as we can see on OCN And yes, for sure some guys will have experience with BDW-E cause as we see cpus are ready ~ 1 month before the launch and users on OCN are playing with it And those are guys who didn't sign NDA (or are breaking it). CPUs were available on EBAY (ES), so everyone could buy it, maybe even some HWBOT OCers. And regarding the idea of going fullout and so on - I approve this, especially that 1. new platform for everyone, it's a great opportunity (even if someone plays before, still getting full experience takes mostly more time), 2. many chances to qualify so it limits luck factor in drawing cpus/memories, 3. after all overlimiting events/competitions it's some nice change IMHO Edited May 5, 2016 by Xtreme Addict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Any backups are provided? or can we use private mobo as backup for instance? To be decided. But for sure we don't have "infinite" amount of backup boards. Assume no backup. Can we pre-ban XA?Especially since it sounds like he'll have prior BW-E experience? There are sufficient ways to win at the competition. There are prizes for the qualifier and the 1vs1 has already proven to give chances to the underdogs to win.

Rauf Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 So, for all the critics out there: qualifier is "full-out", with "cash prize" and "provided hardware" NO!! We want low clock, igp-benching and old school hw! Seriously, seems like a great competition! Awesome you could arrange this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex@ro Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Sounds interesting,i'm in,purchasing the ticket.... L.E You're going to HWBOT World Tour 2016 - Taitra Computex Taipei! Edited May 5, 2016 by Alex@ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If I'm reading this right... You pay for your ticket, massman will give you a spot at the table, monitor, psu. then you basically have two options 1. bench whatever you want to do, byo os, hw & pots, or just bench the given stuff. 2. bench competitively in the world series comps, there's cash prizes for placing each day, as well as going through to finals which are on friday/saturday - this will be on all the given out hw, possibly bw-e. massman will be providing for this: cpu, ram, board, psu, monitor, possible keyboard/mouse. for the competition i believe pre-made os drives are being setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_n00b Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If we buy bench spot, can we use these 'next-gen' CPU but not for competing in the world series? I'd like to use one day just to do some preview article for those CPU, since I brought all my review gear and stuff hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
