Can someone from the staff please tell me if it was absolutely necessary to have the CPU-Z memeory tab open during the ScreenShots used for submissions. I just noticed that I didn't do that for some of my subs in the 2Core/4Core rounds.

 

Its XTU so I don't think it matters much, but would prefer to have a proper answer so I can understand how it will affect the work I put in last month & if I should continue.

We are aware of the XTU submission issue - trying to resolve it ASAP.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

how are the winner decided if they have same points in all stages? Is it decided by the time difference across all stages?

Also, is it possible to see the submission time by each contestant?
