Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2008 - Taipei

[giorgioprimo]

Giorgio - this is coming from Gigabyte directly through me.
Have you submitted your proposed Freestyle hardware setup yet? If not you might not even be able to compete as the rules stated submission required a long time ago (for Gigabyte to review).
Yesterday i was told pretty much every freestyle setup submitted was 4870x2(s).

The rules havent been "changed", they just weren't clear and people have read it their own way.
Remember the rules did state WR.

Single card and multi-card will both count seperately.
E.g. WR single card '03, WR CF card '03.

Hope this helps?

(edit: Also the rules have a disclaimer at the bottom stating that they may be changed at any time without prior notice.)

(Edit 2: I just triple checked the rules and am a bit confused about "in each hwbot category (bench, CPU, VGA)" - i will seek further clarification ASAP)

i have already submitted the hardware list long time ago, and, obviusly, i didn't not choose to use 4870x2 ....

your 2nd edit is the point, besides that i was cleraly told ( till yesterday) that the freestyle competition was about hardware league as is possible to understand from "in each hwbot category (bench, CPU, VGA)" .
And if it was intended from the first time, that the freestyle was about overhall WR, why did they ask a list of hardware, I was told that the list was necesessary to be sure that nobody gonna use too hold hardware ( i.e. 9800 as vga...), and this make sense.
If the target was overhall WR, doesn't make sense to ask a list of hardware, once is stated that mobo has to be GYGABYTE and vga has to be ATI, because anybody gonna use the last generation VGA if wanna have a chance to compete. That's logic IMHO.

I submitted my hardware list long time ago ( deadline was 1st of september), and I asked clarification before submit the hardware list. With the hardware I submitted, cannot even try to beat any overall WR ......

I don't think there are a ot of people which submitted 4870x2 as VGA ...
