Move it to 1st of January so the points are still valid for Season 2020?

How about we fix the broken comp pts system as first suggested (and polled) almost 1 year ago now? Kinda weird having benching done in 2019 counting towards 2020 only.

Competiiton is mostly configured, need to make the background, was thinking of a Chippendale sporting a motherboard with Allen's head on it

A skinny fella like zero would be good. :P Here's my inspiration for background * jokes not serious *

Would be quite a challenge to find PCI card that runs 06:) GF6200?

GT610, HD 5450, GT430, HD 3450, HD 2400 among others.  Oldest that run it should be FX 5200/5500.  So far I've only found the 5200/5500 at a reasonable price though and idk if it's worth bothering for 60 points when you have a PCIe card doing 60,000 points.

If you go to the hwbot comp page it says that agp, pci, integrated, hybrid, pcie meaning that you could have a lineup that doesn't use pci at all. If it's intended to use pci then will have to up to 5 subs or drop a gpu socket. If a socket is dropped pcie is probably the most balanced to drop since with no restriction it could be a rtx titan, whereas the max the next fastest socket, integrated, could be is a 3400g.

Ah, that's different.  I prefer that honestly, PCI would end up being a red headed step child barely worth bothering with for the stage.  iGPU, Hybrid and AGP are worth pushing.

@Leeghoofd Hey man, I'm not trying to be cunty, but is the hwbot competition page with https://hwbot.org/competition/CountryCup2019/ the live up-to-date version of the stages you're planning? I can see for example that Timespy Extreme stage has moved to FS Ultra, and am wondering how far we are away from this being finalised. 


Will this be finalised 100% by the time this supposedly opens (just under 48hrs at this post time) with all rules & hardware requirements? or are we looking at a delay.
Delay is fine but just wanted to be clear.

Thanks.

No delay possible bro, it must be done… Matthew is taking care of the background

Anybody comments ont he current hardware specs/benches, now we can still adjust (if needed)

Thanks mate. 
Looking at our spreadsheet I think the HW is all good for each stage, unless there's any last minute changes. ?
yknow like if you want to take out 3 bclck scores required, or remove AGP, PCI, Integrated & Hybrid...and allow ES, and start it in Jan and run til March. 
yknow, if you wanna change stuff ?
