GOOC 2010 - North America Regional Final - Press Release

[Brian y.]

best of luck to the NA contestants. You better take it all Gatman:P

[Gautam]

It's gonna be pretty hard to do worse than I did last year...

[TheGoat Eater]

Please remember (if you watched the OC-TV livestream and radio show) that Tim Handley said that there are 6 tickets for those they think will make a good addition the the finals. So some that may have not made the cut could still get in if GB HQ thinks they should be in... Dino can confirm this as well

[dinos22]

if you fail to qualify in locals or regionals you cant get that invite

ok, thanks for clarifying

AU had PSC as well.

They're not running Folding benchmarks. You'd also be scared of the very few CPUs per mainboard you can use ... only 1!



EU had as well.

Ah, thought Europe had Hypers Guess I should pay more attention *doh*

3rd ticket is golden ticket?

I hope it is in a candy bar.

[dinos22]

Aww, PSC instead of the Hyper that everyone else has had.

Europeans had PSC as did Australians. You will find that only indonesia SOMEHOW managed to get the last lot of hypers from somewhere but it is next to impossible to find any stock at all due to Elpida phasing them out.

I've asked the same question from the European Kingston rep and was told that they can only supply what they have available and that's fair enough. Nothing that can be done about it but i tell you what if you come prepared there is certainly a way to have the upper hand in this year's GOOC...that includes knowing how to get most out of the these particular ICs

Second that for me, but at least you still got a prize last year

How are you supposed to get that invite then? Not bother to do anything to qualify at all and get in anyway

[e-Killer]

NA only include Canada & USA, For SA Qualifier they Count Central America also

Fixed.

[Buckeye]

Yeah Stockton does not do flights to LA anymore, so it means going to Sacramento, taking all that time in the air port, which by then I would be over half way to LA.

So drive it is

I'll see if I have one for you to borrow Trouffman.

[Planet]

I will be driving down Friday afternoon. Meeting up with some friends in the OC that night then hit the hotel bar.

[Vapor]

Everyone is going to the bar on Friday night? Damn, I'll probably be tired and going to bed after buying all the Vaseline in Michigan so that I can insulate my board again

[Gautam]
