Posted October 30, 200915 yr This is the official HWBOT Country Cup 2009 support thread. Post here if you have any questions or remarks and we will try to respond as fast as possible!!
October 30, 200915 yr Hi Pieter, if I understood, for each week of benchmark, you'll take in account the better 3 results for each country... then you'll calculate the average and the first 10 countries will earn points, ordered by their average. At the end, the country with more points will win the competition, the prizes go to the first six countries... but how will you decide which person/team from that country will receive the ln2 pot? Thanks
October 30, 200915 yr Author That's correct. So: 1) people submit results => results are grouped per country 2) the score of a country is calculated based on the average of the best 3 scores of the country 3) per stage, points are awarded to the best 8 countries; 1st = 10, 2nd = 8, and so on. 4) at the end of the competition, all points are added up to each other and we have a finalized country ranking. From the logs, we see what users have scored the most points. So: Winning country => top 3 best scoring users get each one prize 2nd country => top 2 best scoring users get each one prize 3rd country => best score user get one prize
October 30, 200915 yr Allright thanks! But... in the competition page it's written that there are 2xF1, 2xTek5.0 and 2xNB-1. So it wouldn't have been rather 3xF1, 2xTek5.0 and 1xNB-1?
October 30, 200915 yr If it was possible, we would have chosen 6x Gulftown Mmhh I didn't understand... I wasn't trying to dispute about the prizes, I was only trying to understand to do an Official thread on HwProject in which I'll explain everything. My confusion was generated about the numbers... "2x 2x 2x" is 6. Evend 3x+2x+1x is 6, but distributed in a different way, that was the point I didn't understand
October 30, 200915 yr Author Hehe, I know, no worries . The best user of the winning country will have the choice between the 3 containers, then the second best of winning country, then the third best. After that the best user of the second country ... and so on. Some people already have a good CPU container, so maybe they want a GPU container instead .
October 30, 200915 yr Oh, that's good, now it's clear! So, apart from the prizes, let's clock Pieter, thanks!
October 30, 200915 yr We could say the winning country gets CPU pots, 2nd country gets GPU pots and 3rd country gets NB pots, but the fact is many people already have a CPU/GPU/NB pot, so we let them choose. Good idea guys, I agree with you

October 31, 200915 yr Hey everybody, can I ask something as well ? I'm rather confused regarding which benchmark shall we bench during first week (4-11 November). Here, as well as here and here, I can see you're talking about SuperPi 1M. That's what I thought as well. However, according to this newspost, our first benchmark will be SuperPi 32M. Could you please help me out a bit ? It seems like SuperPi 1M is the one that's going to be benched during the first week, I just want an official confirmation. George
October 31, 200915 yr This competition is a good idea But it could be fun to make a competition for who are not able to have LN2 or a monster CPU at 1000$... Example making a competition of Super Pi a 4GHz, the one who makes the best time a 4GHz win! It will be more tweaking and it will be more accessible to everybody
October 31, 200915 yr Author I think people will be surprised when they see how little LN2 will be used in this competition.
October 31, 200915 yr Hey, i've a question! When the second stage starts, the first stage ends? or it will be available to submit until 23rd dicember? I don't see end dates in the microsite :-/ . Thankssssssssss.
October 31, 200915 yr Author add http://pc-overware.be/forum2/index.php/topic,2113.0.html thks ^^ Added Hey, i've a question!When the second stage starts, the first stage ends? or it will be available to submit until 23rd dicember? I don't see end dates in the microsite :-/ . Thankssssssssss. There will be a timer running when each stage has started.
October 31, 200915 yr I have a question here. One of the rules as you already know is "Retail hardware only. Hardware must be availabe for purchase at the beginning of this competition. Pre-order is not okay." So can hardware which was in retail months/years ago but is not any longer be used ? (Q6600, the single core celerons etc) Thanks
October 31, 200915 yr Author As long as you're using a retail variant of an already released product, it's okay
