HWBot Country Cup 2009
7 stages, 7 weeks, 7 prizes, 150 countries
1. Concept
The competition consists of seven benchmarks spread over seven weeks. In other words, chances are big that you will not have the time to submit a world record breaking result, which makes it interesting to see who will come up with the best result within a very limited time-frame. The results are grouped per country and countries are ranked based on the average score of the top-3 submissions. So, in order to win, you will have to motivate your fellow overclockers to submit good results. Per stage, countries are awarded points and the country that gathered most points at the end of seven stages wins the competition.
2. Stages
For each stage, the HWBot staff has prepared a combination of platform and benchmark. To keep things exciting, we will not reveal the combination, but only the list of platforms and benchmarks. This prevents people from benching in advance and preserves the concept of one-week benching, but still allows people to prepare as you can already figure out the limitations of the platform. The only two people who know the combination of the platform and benchmarks are RichBa5tard and Massman. Evidently, both can not win anything in this competition.
2.a. Benchmarks
* 3DMark01
* 3DMark Vantage
* Pifast
* SuperPI 1M
* SuperPI 32M #1
* SuperPI 32M #2 (different hardware limitations)
* Wprime 32M
2.b. Required hardware
In order to make this competition fun and challenging, each stage will have certain hardware limitations. For example, we could limit the 3DMark01 stage to only use a Intel Core 2 Quad processor. The hardware requirements for each stage will be announced a few days before the start of the stage.
Hardware required if you want to compete in all stages:
* AMD processor
* AMD/ATI videocard
* A P55 motherboard
* Intel Core 2 Quad (not extreme)
* Any single core processor
* Any Intel Core i7 processor
If you do not own this hardware, either go bargain hunting or encourage fellow countrymen with this hardware to join the competition. There are 7 stages in this competition, so it’s not a disaster if you can’t compete in one of the stages due to hardware limitations. Remember, in the Country Cup competition it’s not important how high you score, it’s important how high your country top 3 average is.
