The Rules.......
Entry posting deadline is July 20th NO EXCEPTIONS.
Any OS can be used for any bench.
The Ultra Extreme(UE) class has no teams, but you are playing for your forum
A thru E Teams on down are 4 man teams.
Quadcores will not be allowed in the C thru F classes.
NO UPGRADES during the contest, None... Period! (But RMA's are ok, subject to validation for the same hardware).
2 Rigs are allowed per player...
But you cannot have them both on the "A Team" and the 2nd Rig must have a different CPU and Reduced VGA.
Reduced VGA means if you use SLI, you cannot use the same set up on your 2nd Rig, you can only use 1 card.
But if you have a lesser set of VGA cards... that's OK!
Conventional cooling is defined as... Air, Water, Chiller & Peltier (above 0c/32f)
Phase (Vapo), LN2, DICE & Cascades are ONLY allowed in the Ultra Extreme (UE) Class.
Forum Police can deny any posted score if not properly submitted (see how to post below)
The Forum Admins are the local Judges and the forum Police will vote on Questionable scores
at "TRP" in the "Forum Wars Admin" Forum. This forum will be password protected.
All Forum Police will be registered in our Database and all scores will be entered into the database
then transferred to our spreadsheet. Then tabulated and posted on the TRP website (usually twice a week).
***No Unreleased hardware may be used in Team Scoring...
For rigs not competing in the UE class, motherboard, CPU, and Video Card must be available in the retail sector before July 18th.
