I see elite, extreme, and apprentice being ranked with ambient folks. Also see nobody has posted scores beyond 5000mhz or so. ??? Aren't there 2 classes?
Also as 3rd rule for extreme submission FOR AMBIENT <5003mhz, right after it says unlimited clock and cooling. ???
I've read and reread and it still seems ther is some conflict in what is truly going on with this comp. I do not want to spend the time to bench and sub scores to be told i didnt follow rules correctly.
Can someone clear this up for me. Thanks, much appreciated.
well I know websmile just said that ambient and extreme will be lumped together in the ranking but will be divided for prizes, so since you are in extreme you can submit with any cooling you want at any speed you want.
Thats all i know.
There is no limit for extreme - the fact the two comps are at one ranking is simply irritating, I am aware of this
Thank you. Just confusing with Ambient line in extreme submission rules section and I see guys that would classified as extreme putting in ambient subs.
I subbed basic 5g just to compare with others and make sure I had a score in for the lucky draw. I will run soon with dice and my scores will go in the extreme category.
