June 14, 201214 yr I guess it's allowed since last CountryCup when scores that used it were not removed. After that many people use it (including myself). It's like setting 4 threads in wprime on a dualcore.
June 25, 201214 yr Who says its allowed? Because it makes a massiv difference.. The rules say "standard run" not custom.
June 25, 201214 yr Who says its allowed? Because it makes a massiv difference.. The rules say "standard run" not custom. There are several threads about it. For now, some light reading for you, start with Massmans response on post #133 ... http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=34005&highlight=ucbench&page=14 Edited June 25, 201214 yr by mr.paco
June 25, 201214 yr There are a bunch of subtests, and only the best one counts as the final score. It makes no sense to run the other tests if you don't have to. if you want to be an a$$ you can also argue that since there are many tests and just the best one counts you're at a huge disadvantage vs people who run all tests, as they have more chances to beat you, as you get only one score:D
