Country Cup 2024

The way it is now seems pretty clear to me

Stage by GPU Family - 4 scores required

At first I was also confused about the memory scoring, but this clears things up a lot

Stage by memory type - 3 scores required

 

My guess is that the main issue is that people look at the rules and think they're fine, until they actually start to work with them and realize that they have some hardware that may or may not fit the bill. Unless we require people to select their hardware before the competition opens, I don't think this can be prevented.

 

Tasos, as a team lead it's understandable that you're frustrated that your members are complaining to you. However, keep in mind that as a team lead, you're now complaining to others which will leave them frustrated. Please listen to your members, aggregate concerns and just ask the moderators to clarify anything that's unclear and don't dig up the past. Please remember that people are volunteering to keep this site alive. People spend their free time moderating everything and setting up compo's. There's no monetary gain for winning a contest, so please don't expect the rules to be as perfect as a $15K compo and just try to have fun.

So  how to rephrase so the stage rules are understandable...

As detailed as possible or as much as the admin options allow you.

The header of each stage must also contain all the basic elements wanted.

The descriptions : "stage by gpu" , "stage by gpu family" , "stage by cpu socket" , "stage by cpu core count" , "stage by cpu core"  .... mean nothing to new users (and not only)

There has to be a remark with explanations , in stage details or in limitations (wherever is possible).

What do we do , when a result (for unknown reason) did not uploaded in the stage of country cup ?

In previous competitions (older GUI) we had a "participate" button.

If i may ask
What was the idea behind this stage hardware limitations ?

https://hwbot.org/competition/Country Cup 2024 - GPU/stage/5866_3dmark_-_solar_bay

Why RTX4080 and RTX4070 is allowed , while the other cards of the same series are not ?

A score vanished from this stage

The permalink shows 3 id's though.

Could  be related as this score has been reported by another user, however it still counts in the average

 

EDIT: indeed was the case; Varachio's score got flagged due to missing URL

8 minutes before the end of this year country cup ... and i'm still in doubt

Are we sure the Aussies are not coming full power at the last minute ?

 

[TerraRaptor]

I lost my bet, was also thinking Aussies will come in
