Remember why XS started.
    Not really.

    14 teams
    5 bencharks
    5 months.

    Just discussing who's in the teams. No limits yet. Most discussion has been on what ifs and personnel. It's why I'm so keen to bullishly push this through quickly to avoid everything getting hung-up on bureaucracy!

    But that is the thing, The money people i.e manufactures have already decided the teams, This sentence killed this "we were actively talked out of having a team UK team for this by the industry because there simply aren't many people in the UK who care about extreme overclocking"

    I think this will not be the last time you guys will be "actively talked out of " doing what is right because some people will not make as much money.

    Can you imagine!

    And I'll fly you to Monaco when I have my Maybach and fifty yaughts and Bernie Ecclestone-style glasses.

    Noone's making any money. We're just excited about putting together a series that people have been talking about (at live events) for a long time. It would be good if we did make some money. Hopefully down the line. It won't just be The Overclocker at all. The prize money and potential sponsorship should be big for the competitors.

    UK is alsmost certainly going to be Benchtec now. Keep up!
