ASRock Z77 Overclocking Competition

[Billy-The-Kid]

Hi there :)

Right now I see that there was a small bug in your contest. Timer on main page was +1h than real time 11:00GMT. So it make me and Chaos wrong in submitting the scores.

So becouse Futurmark did that mistake, could you add this score to competition? It will not change anything in prizes, but we would like to be at 2nd place overall than at 3rd :)

So please be kind with it, becouse it wasn't our foult that Timer was working wrong :(

How mutch point´s have chaos?

This litle bugh will do some diference in my case :P

Here are the scores I know of that we're sent for the contest while the sender saw time left on the timer, but shortly after 11 am GMT:

From Chaos:

Also, there's a more relevant score from rsannino in the Vantage-category:

So in that case I cancel my first vote for Chaos and vote for keep 11GMT :D Well, my fist ask was maybe too big, but when prizes are involwed we should keep stright dead-line time.

Alright, as this confusion was due to our coding problems, we want to offer everyone a chance to get their best scores in to let the best overclocker win.

So: the official ruling is that the contest is extended by a day, so all submissions send in before 11 AM, July 10th will be accepted for this contest, so everyone still has a chance to send in improved scores and any reserve scores.

My apologies for the mix-up.

This only happens because of the backup's scores!

The rules were well displayed ... but as already happened in other contest of this kind there's a problem because the backup's scores!

I work and how I knew the rules I bench on Sunday, if he knew it had taken the Monday and came back running again!

The contest code has now been changed, so there are about 20 more hours to bench and improve scores!
