Aggressive suggestions for competitions

[ReverendMaynard]

Maybe the companies holding these competitions should leave the $1000+ unlocked multi (more about binning than skill) cpu's for hwbot, leveling the playing field and THAT will make things more accessible for more people who love the hobby. Would love to see a comp with just 920's, I'd kick all your asses

So a set of rules for one competition. Marc be honest, how many people entered the competition LOC anyway ? if you are gonna lay down so many new rules, some will not even bother.
You have to make Overclocking more accessible to the public without lowering the values/morals...

This.

There are two aspects on competitions:

1) Make it interesting enough for people to consider joining (eg: even retired people like Gautam get interested)
2) Don't make it too complicated so people stop when they see 150 very specific rules have to be followed.

YES, you can make it extremely tight on the side of the rules, but chances are that you won't reach the same audience. The tighter the rules, the more prize you have to give. The slacked the rules, the slacker the prizes.

Binning comes in all forms and shapes. Luck comes in all forms and shapes. It's not because you currently don't see people binning 920's that you wouldn't see this if focus was put on the CPUs.
