HWBOT Team Cup 2013 - SC4: "Live Performance"

The fourth and last stage of the Team Cup is for those who do not suffer from stage fright. In order to spread the overclocking fever outside, in the real world, in this stage you can gain points for benching in front of an audience. There are only three stages: CatZilla (if it is launched by then), CPU-Z and Aquamark3. There are no hardware limitations in this stage - you can use any configuration you want. In order to qualify for a legit entry in this sub-competition, you must provide a picture of the event stand/booth, system and an event report. The event must publically accessible and have an attendance of at least 20 people not directly related to overclocking (so: not just team members). Ideal for this sub-competitions are local LAN parties, retailer shop demonstrations and bigger IT events such as CeBIT. The point distribution for this stage is a bit different from the others. Instead of every entry being awarded a minimum of one point, every team result will bring you at least twenty-five (25!) points, again directly being added to your Team's Team Cup total and the equivalent of finishing 8th in any other stage. This means 75 points (almost) for free!
