Any news about MOA?

[Massman]

@Massman

 

I would like to know if it's just the official announcement, also if you can provide the finals date.

I really need to get this free week to go, so, is important to inform many days before.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Final date is still to be determined. Not fixed yet.

I agree. Mass man you deleted your original post, but can we assume that the above applies? Ie all the people that you had drawn that did have a legit score posted before May 15th will keep their prize? Not going to be impressed if you turn around now and say that I am not getting a board!

[Shrekogre]

I also agree the legit scorer should get their lucky draw prize.

[Neyasit]

I thought only those submitted before 15 may qualify for lucky draw?

I thought that winners of lucky draw submitted their score before 15 may

I can't wait to see results of a new lucky draw

For whoever might be interested in this. So far, the numbers for MOA look quite good. Even though the amount of seats in the grand final reduced significantly from 32 (16x2) to 15, there were slightly more participants this year. We went from 72 to 79. The amount of score submissions almost doubled as the counter is now at 420-ish for the entire MOA campaign.

 

I hope these numbers will provide "upper management" with enough evidence that MOA-type competitions can be organised without spending a rediculous amount of money and still create the same amount of exposure and participance.

 

Just fyi.

[redmax]

Oh cool! I won something No excuses now I'll have to compete.

 

Congratz to all the winners.

Seems like a good thing to me. Really too bad its one person teams but in the end the fame usually goes to one person so its a moot point cept for those looking for a free ride to Taiwan

This is a good news.

 

Considering the fact that rules aren't still so friendly (even after some changes) (in class A -> Ivy, SB-E, Haswell, 7970 + Titan), it's good that the marketing level is still a bit higher. Class B helped for sure in interest. Next time (if there will be MOA 2014) with better rules (better selection of benchmark, maybe cheaper platforms, maybe better prize distribution/tickets) the popularity can raise much higher. It shows that this format (Class A + Class B) has some potencial.

Although there are not many competitions around for comparison but the prizes should be better and more like earlier years of MOA when it was hosted out of hwbot, considering the amount many have to spend on the hardware itself.

Funny how not being able to bring a teammate this year increase the number of participants...Might it be because strong teams are now dividing into 2 and both members are submitting hmmm

I thought that Massman counted MOA 2012 x2 (two persons as team)

[Splave]

I think you misunderstood, say you and I are alway teammates. And I know you will make it to final and take me. Why would I bench too? I wouldnt. But now you and I would both have to bench to go. That is why there is more submissions, not because people prefer this format.

[Xtreme Addict]

But single nicks - entries this year is more

 

54 users took part in HWBOT MOA 2012, so we can count it as x2 or x1.5 (some of ocers would take wifes, girlfriends and so on)

 

http://www.3dmark.com/competitions/MSI-LOC-2012/

 

1500 entries in LOC lol (500 per category, so I guess there was some limit... best 500 results lol)
