Novice Nimble #2

Welcome to the Novice Nimble! Via the Rookie Rumble you’re now familiar with competitions at HWBOT and OC-ESPORTS. Now it's time to learn about team work. Find an overclocking team, motivate two other Novices and enjoy the Novice Nimble!
There are five stages in the Novice Nimble. Each of the stages requires combining 3 scores to form a team average. The team with the best average gathers the most points. In addition to the benchmarks we know from the Rookie Rumble, you will also have to compete in two 3D stages. To win, you will need good overclocking skills but most importantly a strong and cohesive team. Check out the stage tabs to find out the hardware and benchmark requirements. Good luck!

For some reason it was set to invite only. It is now enabled for everyone!
Shouldn't the times for GPUPI be multiplied by core number (in effect divinding the score per core)?
Oops, yeah ... :-/
how can i get in to a team?
Most scores checked guys and gals.
Plz don't forget the Futuremark verification link as the score is a competition entry!! Plus we need to cross check the System info version and co...
Thank you
Found the issue, you should now be able to submit the result
How do we get a DDR2 score to count in the Maxxmem stage? So far all the DDR2 submission we made don't count and only the DDR3 and DDR4 show up.
Is it possible that the person who has submitted the DDR2 result already submitted another (higher) result?
The key point about the Novice Nimble is that you need 3 people contributing a result to the ranking. The engine will select your best result as the one that counts for the team. So if you have 15K DDR4 and 12K DDR2, the engine takes into account the 15K score (even if you don't have a DDR2 for the team yet).
Ok ! But what if the previous submitted score is been topped by an other teammember. Shouldn't you be able to submit another score ?
I submitted a ddr3 score which has been beaten. So if I understand correctly I would be able to submit another score. But I cannot submit a new sco
That should have been pointed out , earlier and should have been written on the Novice Nimble intro.
Plus , to the benchmark page rules.
Dont forget that we are talking about Novice members here.
This is a novice competition.
Now , i have a member complaining at me , for not having the ability to know the exact rule earlier and wants to leave the team and the competition as he feels accused for no real reason.
He is the 3rd member of the team and he only kept screenshots.
He sold his hardware to fund a purchase for an upcoming stage.
... and we dont have an other Novice member , to take his position.
Please find me a solution.
So u have a member willing to quit because his submission is removed and with leaving will let his team hang out to dry?
What's wrong with that picture...
Hi.
S4ch4z's MaxxMem score disappeared of our results, however it remains linked to the comp : http://hwbot.org/submission/2835244_s4ch4z_maxxmem_read_bandwidth_ddr3_sdram_25650_mbytesec.
Did S4ch4z submit a better score with DDR4?
Or is there another member who submitted a better DDR3 result?
S4ch4z's doesn't have DDR4 rig.
Nexus (current DDR4 score *sigh*) submitted a better DDR3, but it doesn't appear neither his DDR4 score isn't removed.
I see this as a competition entry, thus the rules mention it needs a verification link...
I previously warned Team captains about some missing links. Hence why I posted the above warning in this thread a few weeks back...
Unless Christian decides otherwise, I just follow the rules...
My Maxxmem DDR3 score simply dissapeared without any sort of warning.
I do not own a DRR4 compatible rig as Taloken pointed out so there's no way a memory type conflict could be to blame.
Just tried to submit the same score again but it still doesn't work... (except in the "latest submissions" tab)
That's the problem.
The key point is that our engine will not give you the best combination of results. In your team, you need to figure out the best combination of all your results. In this case, Nexus needs to choose whether he wants to contribute to DDR4 or DDR3. Right now he is "blocking" S4ch4z from contributing because he has a better DDR3 score.
So, two things:
1) I will remove Nexus' submissions from the competition so S4ch4z is contributing again.
2) For future competitions, do you think this is too complicated? We can also change the system to the "top-3 scores" in general. That would make it easier to understand which scores are contributing, but it would also mean the Novice Nimble team competition can be won by one user who has all the hardware. What do you think?
Well S4ch4z result was out before Nexus submitted his better DDR3
I understand why Nexus' DDR3 didn't appear (he already have a better DDR4 score), but i don't see what crashed S4ch4z' DDR3
About 2) :
Well Top-3 scores is too easy i think : For Stage 3 for example, 3 novices with Z97+CFR/MFR and it's done.
By adding the hardware-type, and one score per user per stage, it encourage teams to dig for members and hardware ^^
Hello all
A kind request please.
I am new member and i did not understood the rule for this competition correctly.
Because in my opinion is not clear written.
Let me explain.
1)On oc-sport page , there is not written about futuremark link
2)On submission screen , there is not written about futuremark link
3)On 3dmark11 rules , says "Mandatory for global top-20"
Please make the rules more clear at first read.
Make it easy for us new people.
We dont all know good English.
Please accept my score , cause i worked very hard for it.
http://hwbot.org/submission/2854459_
If i still had that 7970 , i would say anything here and make a new score.
But i cant.
I sold it , to by an Nvidia.
I hope you understand.
Thank you.
EDIT: Verification link not required for this competition.
Removed scores due to missing FM validation link will be restored
Thank you for your understanding.
My score is on the link above.
Needs verify from you ?
Our scores are back to normal thx a lot Massman
I think it would be nice to keep the DDRx scores so people will have to find members with old hardware, but it can be hard to "hold back" on a score incase there is someone with a better score for a different DDR type later on (especially when talking about 60+ days competitions). It would be a lot easier to just have the best combination count (or some form of calculating were any of our 3 people posting DDR2 scores count
).
