    LOL that is A JOKE...
    How about selecting through XS or OCX...?
    Tweak.dk...? Lol, that is a joke,... Just look at their Benchmark toplists... People such as myself dont even bother submitting results!!!

    EDIT:
    Email sent to MSI!

    @ME4ME: most likely the .SE. Those were the sites MSI NL gave me that were participating, I don't know when they'll launch their pre-selections.
    @M.Beier: XS/OCX is USA, this contest is EU only :/ -- you should go through Tweak.dk for the contest

    It's European only, as in, no US. If MSI wanted to create a World Cup then I'm sure XS would come in handy, but since this contest is organized by MSI Europe the competition is EU only and I see no better ways to organize the EU Cup, how else will you inform the local overclockers if you don't talk to the regions biggest OC community. If your country has nearly no extreme overclockers then this competition might make the change. I hope you join and that you share your knowledge and emphasize with other Danish overclockers, eventually joining one of the local teams maybe.

    Finals will proof to be quite a challenge, I'd say sign up at the Tweak.dk site and maybe you'll stumble up against one of my skilled team mates. This is the Champions League of overclocking, you better be in it

    When Mercedes brought their C111 to Talledega years ago and blew away the closed course record did it count? Yes..
    That was a "factory" car and a "one of" that no one could buy and was never sold.
    Records are records and that is a fact so get over it.
