Novice Nimble: How Does It Work?
The Novice Nimble is based on the concept of the Country Cup competition series. To move up the rankings, you need to improve your team’s best-of-three average in each stage. It is up to you and your team members to determine the best strategy. Our engine is not doing the work for you! So you need to find out who takes on which particular challenge in the stages.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s good to assign members to specific hardware for each stage. Individuals trying to compete with all the hardware are quite likely to block other users from contributing to the team average.
To explain how the average is formed we provide you the image below. You will find three different scenarios, each explaining a specific situation for each team:
- In Scenario 1, three users from one team each submit scores with three different hardware items. The team average is based on these scores and all users are contributing. The team average is completed.
- In Scenario 2, three users from one team each submit one result. Two use the same hardware. Only the top score is used for the team average, so the team average is not complete (2/3). In order for complete the team average, one user must submit using different hardware.
- In Scenario 3, two users from one team submit respectively two and one results with two different types of hardware. In this case there are two options: in case one user has the best score with both hardware, the score of the second user is not taken into account. Then the team average requires two more submissions to complete. In case two, each user has the best score for a hardware item. In that case the team average only requires one more user with a different hardware to complete the team average.

OCN is serious about this one
You bet!
Keep up the good work all
TecLab has massive potential too ... big user base
Will start to check scores this weekend... be afraid be very afraid
OCN be like:
My gpuipi 32b is not in competition why ?
What do you mean by "it's not in competition?"
Hi Massman !
Edit : Don't bother, full bullshet, we didn't pay close attention to the rules x)
These 4th submits are linked to NN#5, but are not comptabilize in our score :
http://hwbot.org/submission/3015165
http://hwbot.org/submission/3012919 <-- Edit : Ok sorry we didn't see the family restriction
http://hwbot.org/submission/3014797 <-- Edit : Idem.
http://hwbot.org/submission/3014732
Maybe it's the same issues we had at the previous NN, with Nexus' PCM7 submit being blocked by an outdated other submission.
Can you give a look please ? ^^
How do you guys like the x265 benchmark for competitions ? Any major issues or all good ?
There are no rules for them at the moment, so I'm assuming that we can't use Win8. However, he was working on a fix I believe. Any bench with no rules in a comp is just asking for trouble in my opinion.
On a good note it seems to be popular and tweak-able!
x265 benchmark is good, feels like a blend of CB and XTU in a weird way.
Could I use a dual 771 board for the reference clock? It doesnt specify # of CPUs just socket type...
Sure you can use it...
!!Take note all plz include CPU-Z CPU and memory tab in the X265 benchmark!!
How old submissions are allowed?
Is there a reason for a submission to not show up in the competition? http://www.catzilla.com/showresult?lp=581280
If i only had teammates...... After almost 2 months on this Team, i just want to say. ZWAME Sucks so hard, that should be vanished from HWBot. 2 Months and just me doing , Benchs?????? Why, im in this stupid team after all.
If a proper team wants me, just ask.
Keep the good work guys,
We would be happy to have you on the team!
Do you have a link to the hwbot submission?
Thanks for the reply, totally my oversight which a teammate brought to my attention. My submission didn't show because we already had a score from the 900 series of which mine was lower.
So when are the results going to be announced? Normally it's before the next one starts (#6 starts today).
