HWBOT Announces Rules and Structure of World Series Asia Contest at Computex 2016

[Massman]

Official Rules are up!

[Alex@ro]

Not bad Massman,no words on freestyle? Will we have kb/mouse/psu/monitor/ln2 etc as freestyle ?

[Massman]

Yep, all is provides too. Basically freestyle = World Series rules, just not participating in the qualifier and free to run whatever benchmark.

 

Note: we have a surprise competition coming up for those who want to really pit the new Zadak kits to the max

[Lucky_n00b]

1) Please correct me if my understanding of the World Series rule was mistaken down here.

 

To join the World Series QUALIFIER, we:

 

- MUST use CPU Provided by HWBOT (Next-Gen Intel Extreme Series?)

- CAN use motherboard provided by HWBOT, or

- CAN use our OWN motherboard as long as it is retail + using retail BIOS

- MUST bring our own 2D VGA

 

 

What about Memory, SSD+OS and PSU for the Qualifier, are we allowed to bring our own for these ?Or We MUST use HWBOT-provided Memory, SSD+ OS and PSU as well?

 

 

2) On the World Series 1v1 face-off at the end of the day, I assume we MUST use every component provided by HWBOT, correct? ( All of it - CPU, M/b, RAM, VGA, SSD, etc. )

 

 

Thanks

[Massman]

1) Memory, SSD + OS and PSU are all provided and must be used for the qualifier as well.

 

2) Correct - the hardware is provided as well.

[Rauf]

What OS will it be? Can we use own tweaking software on usb-drive? Can we use imaging tools to save image and recover if we tweak too hard or OS gets corrupt?

[RULE]

In my opinion OS should be free, everyone can use their own.

[zeropluszero]

More importantly, can I image everyone else's os for my personal use? Thanks guys.

[FatBoyNotSoSlim]

How much you selling passports for? I know a guy...

[Massman]

@Christian Ney for contest rule details

 

Also,

 

[zeropluszero]

B die was all you had to say.

[Rauf]

That's B-die right? "5WB" Means B-die if I remember correctly...

[zeropluszero]

Its the B on the end pretty sure.

[Leeghoofd]

can the IMC handle these

 

For the SSDs I think its most fair for everyone that we use the same OS... but who am I

[Rauf]

I only have european torch head. I bought an adapter, which I got yesterday but it was unfortunately for using with us/asian standard torch head and eu gas, not the other way around.

 

So... Anyone have a spare torch head or knows where to buy one in Taipei?

[zeropluszero]

FBNSS and I are each bringing heads, I'm happy to share my torch. It'll just sit on the table with me. I'm assuming we're grouped together and can reach out for stuff.
