I would be all in for the 1st stage:
"1st stage :
- Must use any type of GIGABYTE P45 DDR2 boards
- Any type of LGA775 CPU, DDR2 RAM, VGA, HDD, and PSU is allowed
- For OS, only WinXP SP2/SP3 and WinVista is allowed
- 20 contestants, 2 session(10 contestant each), individuals only, no teams
- Scoring consists of : Suicide Clock(20 mins),Suicide FSB(20 mins), Suicide RAM Clock(15 mins), and SuperPI 1M(25 mins)
- 5 contestant per session will be allowed to participate in 2nd stage"

But would get a$$ wooped on 2nd stage and i7 ().

Jor3lBR - is that the US rules Or is that something you are suggesting as a format?

[SoF]

Argh, Czech finals 24 - 25th of April? Even if I could qualify from Swedish finals to EU finals I've already booked 2 weeks vacation on Mauritius during that time

and there goes your vacation

nothing heard in germany yet - too bad as I am not too far away and finally a competition not on the other side of the globe

[Sampsa]

and there goes your vacation

Already tried to cancel it but my gf didn't approve

[Slovnaft]

IS there a US comp?!?

[Jor3lBR]

No those are rules I pasted from 1st page, no relation to the USA rules.

[ryba]

Poland Team: me and Chaos ;] See you there!

[Fr3ak]

I asked Gigabyte Germany today, so it should be clear if there will be some kind of competition in order to participate.

[[XC] gomeler]

Yeah, Chris already said he's going to check on it

Invite only from what I can gather talking to Angela. They are inviting 2 Canadians, 3oh6 for a short period of time was both Canadian entries when I mentioned him to Angela Competition will be April 24th-25th in LA, not sure on the venue but I imagine it's the golf resort they keep shacking us up in.

[nut311]

Good luck for my friend Lucy_n00b, ekky , and hazzan i prediction you're on the Top Finals country region

Invite? Why not an open competition? If you can pay to travel to them I dont see why they would want to restrict it... Seems many other countries are open comps...

Contact gigabyte-USA and tell them this. I am just relaying what little info I gathered in a 3 minute conversation. Seems GOOC is improving every year, hopefully they'll keep funding it and standardize it globally. I personally don't think it's fair that they'll only be inviting 2 from USA when we have as many benchers as Europe combined.

Yeah I wasnt meaning to sound frusterated with you... cant shoot the messenger. I'll call gigabyte today maybe next year will be different

[Gautam]

It's the economy if I had to guess. This isn't a climate that's conducive to holding a contest involving a lot of expensive hardware and expensive prizes.

[V2-V3]

WOw, only 2 invites for the US????

how do they make their selection?

[Jor3lBR]

+1 how unfair, this cannot be called a 'Championship' at all.

How the Fifa World Cup will go if only 2 teams in Europe where invited?

[sno.lcn]

Wasn't it 4 total from the US last year?

[T_M]

Correct, but lets face facts and think about budget restrictions
How many people from Asia Pacific do you think will be going to Taiwan?
