Lucky_n00b Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 The Practical Stuff - Get Lost You Sandbagger! We all know how online competitions usually work, so for the MOA 2012 we will implement an elemination cut to force those annoying sandbaggers to play their cards a little earlier in the game. The elimination will take place after 75% of the competition (we'll provide exact date, time, timezone) and will only allow the 15 best overall ranked to continue submitting. If you don't make the top-15 cut, you will no longer be allowed to submit in the rest of the competition. Note that the scores of the eliminated participants are still valid for the competition. So, if someone only submits the highest SuperPI-32M score and gets eliminated, you'll still have to beat that score to get the 15 points. That's all for now, more info to follow. Niiiiice, Looking forward for that 'anti-sandbagger algorithm' to be implemented Quote
Hazzan Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 @Massman : I win bet with you Pieter....lol Good luck Guys .....we will have fun Qualification in here Quote
Eeky NoX Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) A bit discriminating for the Americas qualifier No real surprise there though, when you see there only ONE CPU over 5.9 in each area (north/south ...Deux & Rbuass) Edited April 2, 2012 by Eeky NoX Quote
Crew Xyala Posted April 2, 2012 Crew Posted April 2, 2012 Coool ! So first up Americas as usual http://www.overclocking-tv.com/content/news/13375/moa-2012-competition-starts-soon/ I like the use of the Bot competition engine, finally! ... just have to hope that now the results during the live finals could be submitted this way too for everyone to see the scores.

cyclone Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 A little bit dissapointing news but anyway good luck guys in picking cherry HW samples! -) p.s. 'anti-sandbagger algorithm' seems to be nice thing but I'm not sure if it is good enough in the competitions without any clock limitations. Would like to see it in the action first. Quote
Delex Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Great news!!! Any BIOS limitation for max multiplier on the CPU should be a good idea? Quote
Massman Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Great news!!! Any BIOS limitation for max multiplier on the CPU should be a good idea? 63x . There's no maximum MP limitation for this competition. SuperPI only has 15% weight, so there's more weight on the GPU. Quote
Delex Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I mean...60x for example, that's is easier for a lof of guys.. Quote
cyclone Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Fyi, there are no limitations on the amount of teams that can qualify per country. Ie, if the best 3 teams from the Americas qualifier are all from Bolivia, then 3 Bolivian teams will be in the MOA 2012 final. BTW this one is not good at all 'cuz in theory allows undeclared cherry-samples HW sharing between team members. Hope in won't have any real life effect. Quote
r0yal_flush Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Nicee!! can't wait to participate this competition Quote
Billy-The-Kid Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 A little question!! For 2011 we need online validation? (Tesselation on) Quote
Massman Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 A little question!! For 2011 we need online validation? (Tesselation on) The details for the competition will be on the competition page. In short, you'll need: link and screenshot. Hwbot rules apply, so tesselation tuning is allowed. Quote
gnidaol Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 No ivys, but also no Z77 MSI motherboards on the contest? Quote
Massman Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 No ivys, but also no Z77 MSI motherboards on the contest? Afaik, Z77 will be on sale officially on April 8th (so in time for the contest). Quote
Gunslinger Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) 5.96 SB, check 5.63 SB-E, check $230 MSI s1155 motherboard, negative. $389 MSI s2011 motherboard, negative. (and out of stock) $600 MSI R7970 Lightning, negative. (and out of stock) $1,200 in hardware not counting LN2, just to participate, they could have at least limited it to one platform. Good luck gents. Edited April 2, 2012 by Gunslinger Quote

Good luck gents. I can only agree with you... why no normal limitations for graphics card? for example HD 7770/7850/7870...and CPU frequency? this is as ever only "money" and "luck" competition...no chance (close to zero) to beat richer european overclockers when most of overclockers can afford maybe only one piece of some Ivy and unlikely R7970 Lightning and that's all...while somebody can buy for ex. ten pieces of Ivy for biding...why?!!...you know what? it sucks...

Strat Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Agree... Competition made for professional OCers (or very rich guys). Totally unfair. Quote
MaJ0r Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Bad news for me. Too much USD need to participate this year. Good luck guys! Quote
Aerou Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I get what the organizer, MSI, would want from this, but c'mon! Many (IMO most) people looking forward to this are left with a sigh. I plea for some kind of a painkiller - one lucky draw spot, ban Ivy for all regions ... something! Make it somehow worthwhile for people without spare 1000+ euro. We deserve it! Quote
gnidaol Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Is there already the official competition wallpaper? Quote
Hondacity Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I'm with you mike. I don't have a 5.9g tho Sigh* Hey hwbot staff learn from Msi, they have a fucking 2 week notice for the americas, and Months for binning for the the non-americas Your competition for April didn't even had an early notice sheesh Quote
xoqolatl Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Requiring expensive retail stuff... When it's finished, I'd like to see any kind of proof from top5 EMEA teams that they were using retail hardware totally not given to them by MSI Quote
