For all participants, be sure you use the official contest background released here when submitting (to help confirm your results were obtained during the competition):

I forgot this, my score is not valid ? Hope not.

Yes, your score is invalid if you didn't include the contest background. If you could re-run your benchmarks with the contest background you'll be good to go. Or just make sure you include it when you post your faster scores

Hmmm, I need to pull out my E8700 for this:D

I'll rebench this week (on Livestream ) with my new 8800GT from Zotac.

Hi,

When I placed the first results only existed it stages 1 and 2. Now it has 8 stages. Would be possible the moderator to also transfer my results of stages 7 and 8 to 1 and the 2 and results of stages 1 and 2 for 7 and 8? I will have that to post it again? Is it Core 2 Mobile T2050 include in stages 3 and 4?

Thanks for help.

Can you please link me the scores? :-)

Massman, is there a way to shut down the scoring system for stages 7 and 8, as they cannot contribute the point total? 20 points should be the max that anyone can achieve.

Seems the time zones are off folks. The competition shouldn't be closed until 11:59pm (23:59) EST, which is Monday at 2:59am (02:59) GMT. I PMed mbot @ OCF and Massman here, should be straightened when they get around to it. Sorry for the inconvenience!

changed it to 3:59am 26april +1gmt

Thanks very much!

I tried to submit a 32M time a few minutes ago but I can't because the page states that the competition is over. Is the competition being stopped early?

I was not able to make a last minute submission as well:(

I'm not going to change it twice. There is a countdown timer on the submission page that says how many days / hours are left.

As has been discussed, the contest did not end when it was requested to. This was a limitation of the competition platform at hwbot, and outside the control of Overclocker's Benching Team. Regardless, I apologize to those who were affected. We will be more aware of these sorts of complications, and will take good faith steps to avoid them in the future. We appreciate hwbot's assistance and efforts while hosting this competition! Thank you hwbot, massman, and rb for your help!

Winners and entries are being evaluated based upon the existing rankings listed on the contest page from 1st to 10th place in each stage. Prize pack winners will be announced officially through Overclockers.com, very soon. We'll update this thread at that time also.

Also, please note that the points displayed for submissions on each stage are incorrect. For how points are assigned, and how winners are determined, reference the rules announced officially here:

http://www.overclockers.com/overclockerscom-benching-team-superpi-competition/

Those rules are also listed correctly on the hwbot competition page here:

http://hwbot.org/competition/ocf_spi_comp?tab=rules

Points summary: 1st place in a stage gets 10 points, 2nd place gets 9, and so on until 10th place gets 1 point. Points in 1M and 32M for that platform are added together for each contestant's total score on that platform - 1156/1366, 775, or AMD.
