Can you link me to an invalid score? It might be related to some security update we've done. We had this issue with Wprime in the past as well.

 

I'll add the rules today.

 

Here you go:

 

#1 with 1 Core; http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2397007_lippokratis_hwbot_prime_celeron_m_520_1440.4_primes_per_second

 

#1 with 2 Cores; http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2396297_u22_hwbot_prime_phenom_ii_x3_740_2273.29_primes_per_second

 

but the more I dug the more I found.

 

Thank you for the clarification in the rules section, Now that CPU-Z is a requirement as per the general rules then there are many non-compliant submissions. Including the #1 for 2 Cores. I didn't go through to many more as what I was finding was too inconsistent.

I think I've searched using the wrong terms, so apologies if it's been asked before.

 

I really like the graphs on team pages that show the points history.

 

Any way for this to be implemented for user pages?

 

Failing that, is there an api in place so I can do it myself? :)

 

The idea was to also show this graph on the user page, but it has not been implemented yet. There is no way to fetch the data via the API I believe.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we are currently running at maybe 10% coding capacity right now. That means we can fix really urgent problems (eg: downtime), but can only put all the feature requests and minor bug fixes on the backlog list.

 

Sorry :(

Like I said, happy to know it's on the list, and happier still to wait it out. :)

Hi,

 

It's probably not the best thread, but every time i'm looking for something, I start to open one tab, two tab, three tab.... and I read for 3hour :) without finding the good thread. I see a lot of interesting thing, but never find what i'm looking for :(.

 

So if this is already explain please tell me were ;).

 

 

1° This year, we made AOOC with my friend, and we were 2nd.

We made it with my MB, my ram, my CPU and give $ 50/50 for LN2 and for titan.... We bench together and I made all the Vmod.

So team bench, but only one can submit...No problem, he put the screen with his account. but why did he earn the competition point alone ? 30pt....

Need to make 15-15 or 30-30, but not 30-0 don't you think ?

I don't speak about hardware or global, but for competition point...

 

 

 

2° ES chip, allowed for Pro, but not for xtreme league. It's look ok to me, but every WR is take by ES chip.... there is no pleasure to bench if all the WR-global point are out of range.

 

Look at 3dm01 top rank... all used crazy ES chip, and took all WR point and most of global point...

 

Other point, if a no-pro use ES chip, and remove point to submit, it take the point... for exemple, I submit wr with ES. I'm not pro user, so I remove point to submit (0pt instead of 50pt for 1st place) . If an other guy submit result, 2nd place, he can't pick all the point, he only win 2nd place point (example 30pt, but he is the first using allowed cpu, why he didn't win 50pt ?)... the first place point is lost for everybody :(

For 1)

 

In theory, I agree with you. In fact, I think everyone in the staff agrees with you. This topic has been discussed many times before, and in the end the biggest problem is the overhead it creates for the hwbot engine. It would require a significant change in our database model (add support for multiple result owners) + a re-write of all the code for calculating points. Long story short, coding-wise the benefit of having a more "fair" system does not outweight the complications that come with the development of the feature.

 

For 2)

 

Only the WR points should be affected in such way. At least, that's how it was designed in the beginning. When a #1 score is set to no points, the second in the rank should be getting the GL or HW points. Do you have an example where this is not the case?

1° You can't add point manually when user ask for ?

I ask for this cause I'm looking for xtrmee ranking, and I see some OC with a lot of competition point... I can't fight without this point.

 

Look at Aristidis (just an example) :

http://hwbot.org/user/aristidis/#Points

 

120 competition point...

 

And, if i'm don't make mistake, this point is "for ever" no ? You can't lost them ?

 

Imagine, 5-6 years later, I made all the competition, have 500 competition point, how other "nex user" can beat me ?

I understand this is to motivate people to participate, but this is not fair (I think).

 

----

So I can't have half of the competition point ?

 

 

 

******************************************************

 

Here an example for hardware point :

http://hwbot.org/benchmark/ucbench_2011/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_2741#start=0#interval=20

 

I use ES chip, removed point, but 2nd place have only 1.5pt... I "stole" the first place" from him

Ok it's just 0.5pt, but it's an example ;)

 

 

 

 

Other example :

http://hwbot.org/benchmark/3dmark2001_se/rankings?cores=1#start=0#interval=20

 

Where is the GL point ?

The first have 150, the 2nd 100 .... but they stole the GL point...

 

 

 

 

 

last but not least... why pro are allowed to use ES, this is not fair. I think it's better to stay in the same ranking, more fun, but with the same hardware... look at 3dm01, I add CPU frequency on the picture...

 

79h2.jpg

 

 

How can I "play" ? There is one good chip, everybody use it, they take all the "good" place and now 3dm01 is reallly boring, this a really really good chip you can hope for top10 cause they all use forbidden hardware.

 

So we need 2 different ranking (less fun, i'd like to fight against pro), or restricted ES for everybody. same rule. Pro have big advantage with all the sponsor, don't give him massive weapon.

How can you check if XTU use an ES ?

I'm allowed to use ES + point for XTU ? Where can I check if user use ES or NOT ?

We can't do this manually as the competition points are a part of the HWBoints engine. There are an entire series of equations, checks and calculations when giving (any type of) points to a submission. Manually overriding could potentially break any of these calculations and if we don't keep track of what manual changes we make, it becomes impossible to debug if we have any issues.

 

As for the competition points - in the original plans they were supposed to be limited in time to ~ 3 months I believe. We had quite some discussion about this internally and I honestly can't remember anymore how we implemented this two years ago. I will check with the developers.

Reported this issue - this is not correct.

Disallowing ES for the non-Pro users was a change made as requested by the community. In above threads, you will find about 600 posts on the ES topic.

Can't check, please disable points for ES scores.
