Wait, so for every event there is one winner and that one is given a free ticket for final? I assume this will be intense and obviously not equal opportunity for people in Europe vs other continents. Why don't you give the tickets proportionally to the number of overcloxkers in top 100 for every continent?
Such a greatful news for next year amazing effort hwbot crew! did you consider any other location this year to Europe? Poitiers, France is very hard to get close international. Cebit in Hannover maybe?
2 in Asia but none in Australia is very disheartening

Both Australia and Eastern Europe were on the map for this year's Tour, but in the end didn't make it because 1) there wasn't a suitable venue/event, or 2) the dates of a suitable event/venue collided with the general World Tour planning.
The World Tour is a really big challenge for us both in terms of logistics and economically, so we welcome every bit of help we get. What would help us a lot for planning the 2017 edition is to have local communities come to us with a venue/project. If you're already doing a workshop or extreme OC gathering it's easier to include it in the Tour
As for Poitiers: there is a direct train from the Paris CDG airport.
Wound up missing last year's due to a few reasons, so this year I'm definitely working on ways to be there!
EDIT: Any chance at two events for North America next time? I'm sure people on the west coast (especially in the US) would appreciate having a stop somewhere on the west coast!
"Each of the six Extreme Series winners from the HWBOT Tour events will be flown out to Germany" and it said 8 overclocker will be provided for unlimited LN2...
Is that means there will be 8 contestant? How to get the other 2 tickets?
When will tickets for the North American stop in Montreal go on sale? There is no HWBot ticket option available on the LanETS website. Wait, finally found the eventbrite link.

Your name has to be Alva Hartung or Michal Mesotten...
We opt for the same appartment with that Mystery shower girl in it Roman
I've seen too much internet and this sentence ruined me for the day

We published the EventBrite and HWBOT X pages today. Just need to add them to the General Info post. :celebration:
I am really trying to figure out how to make it. Hoping I'll have a better idea within the month.
You aren't the only one. I'd love to go even if I could only bring some LGA 775 stuff with me!
Which makes me wonder - has HWBot worked with any of the nearby hotels to get better room rates by chance? Or is there some sort of particular crash space available for those with a HWBot World Tour ticket?

We didn't look for that part of the logistics this year, but if there's a large group who wants to go to one specific hotel in the area I have no problem to help organize a "group buy" and maybe try to get a lower price per room.
@Trouffman, do you know of any affordable places around Montreal we could contact for this?
Will definitely join the computex and south east asia one(i hope it will be not in indonesia lol), and will try the other region if i can find cheap flight as well:)
2 in Asia but none in Australia is very disheartening
// not confirmed //
We may have found a good venue in Singapore in early Q4. Would that be something that suits the Australian overclockers who want to participate? The reason I'm asking is because the flight costs with Flyscoot seem quite alright from Australia:
Adelaide: ~ AUD $750 return
Brisbane: ~ AUD $800 return
Melbourne: ~ AUD $430 return
Perth: ~ AUD $370 return
Sydney: ~ AUD $480 return
I know it's not exactly the same like going to Australia, but apart from Adelaide and Brisbane I guess the travel is bearable? Any feedback would be much appreciated

With Q4, just note the formula one weekend in Singapore, that weekend is bad for flights and hotel prices. 16/17/18 Sep. (EDIT)
I'm not totally aposed to it, because honestly I've paid not much more for my trips to Adelaide and Cairns for team meet ups before, and I can crash with friends in Singapore for cheap/free accommodation. Only issue would be increased costs for checked in luggage, but if hwbot can supply the main problems of monitors/psus etc., it's a better option.
So yeah, if it happens, I'll consider it, but costs + time from work would be up in the air for me. But if I can't make it to Computex, I'd highly consider Singapore.

Those prices are pretty reasonable but for me at least I guess domestic to Melbourne first would be cheaper and depending on accommodation it might be possible

Can you give us a rough idea on area, so we can look at Hotel prices as well? I'm certainly keen and I'm sure a couple of others are as well. Just need to figure out complete costs.
For me singapore is just to expensive for south east asia. Indonesia is much cheaper for living cost. I dont think i can afford flight + living cost in singapore for days. If malaysia i think i can because living cost almost same as Indonesia.
Have you considered Bangkok Thailand for the South East Asia part of the tour?
Flights from Australia are affordable, Hotels are as well as living expenses. Ln2 you can get 180L pressure tanks filled with 7 day rental for 4,000THB or roughly 50 cents US / L.
Venue I am not sure off but maybe Zolkorn can help with that.
Just something to think about if Singapore is not confirmed yet.

Personally I'm not against Indonesia but I'd prefer Singapore because they speak English and i won't need a visa plus living costs and Australian dollar to Singapore is almost one to one which makes it more like a holiday in Australia which for someone like me who has never been overseas makes things a lot easier

Actually I am talking about bangkok Thailand... Aussies dont need a visa to vist thailand for up to 30days, you just get a stamp for 30 days at immgration check point at the airport. Also the aussie dollar goes further here than it would in Singapore. As and Australian, who has lived in thailand for 12 years and traveled around South East Asia, expenses here would be noticably cheaper than Singapore from experience. But you do have point about English but numerous Thai's involded in industries such as computing and travel speak decent english, well enough to handle all the needs

I'm there!
I'll see if I can make it!

Lol Ben, give Pieter a break, there's like 10 active XOC benchers in Australia.
The Gamer's Assembly Event in France seems nice
*calculating flight ticket to France*
This year will be epic at Poitiers Go !!!
Going to have to start saving my cash to get to France I think, should be a lot of fun
Come to France ! Il will be epic !
I'm in for Poitiers, darn SA just two weeks in front, that might be too much too handle
Will see what I can do. Will do Poitiers for sure!
We drive the brown bang bus again or something faster and German ?
Another year that I can not assist
Depends on how much gear you need. We can also use the white starfighter
Might be a bit faster
Any plans on renting an apartment?

What can I say; me, Roman and Richard shared some epic moments in it
exeperiencing is believing :nana:
hahaha
Yea, let's say we had some interesting conversations.
Let's take a road trip to Canada with all the Midwest boys... or we could just fly out of O Hare
The encounter with that hitchhiker was not amusing at all
Pretty poor flight options from my location, 18 hours by car. Leaning towards driving at this point, maybe stop in upstate NY to pick up the big guy.
Hmmm, maybe it's finally time to swing via Computex.
this maybe a possibility
Caution: judging from other people's experience, it's quite likely that if you go once, you'll want to go always
:celebration:
I'm in for France! If you arrange an apartment I'm also interested!
Maybe time to start dedicated threads for each event ?
For france I created a topic on KOC forum => Hwbot/HWBot OC Challenge/[HWBOT] WORLD TOUR GA POITIERS 2016
You want me to make a sub-forum for all the world tour stuff? Might be easier to locate the information I guess.
It would be easier to have a sub for each event.
you are a menthalist?.... scary stuff : )
Yeah sub forum for each individual event would be amazing
Would help sorting things out a lot. Make sure you put the HWBot X links in too 
Yes but is all in french languages!
I've some questions:
-how many ticket need to buy? 1 for hwbot world tour (80€) and 1 for OC gathering (100€)?
-which hardware will be use for world tour extreme competition? who provide it?
I'm in for Montreal for sure!
Here is your sub-forum: http://forum.hwbot.org/forumdisplay.php?f=162
Opened a thread for the GA2016 at Poitiers here
link me up plz
Is the stop in Germany just for the winner of the World Tour? Or is it also open for other bencher for "freestyle benching"?
I'll probably try to fly... but if that won't work... driving it is!
I am really trying to figure out how to make it. Hoping I'll have a better idea within the month.

Man, I wish I could find a way up to canada. Hopefuly one of these years haha. Guess I gotta stick with what I can do X).
Where are you from Nerd 4 l1f3?
Maybe you can find some fellow overclockers in this thread: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=149160

In the dedicated thread there are some info, and I could go discuss with the Hostel nearby

Question! Sorry if repost...
when will the competition rules come out?
Will definitely join the computex and south east asia one(i hope it will be not in indonesia lol), and will try the other region if i can find cheap flight as well:)
The full World Series rules will be published in the next two weeks
Will the Asian Tour take place: before, during or after Computex? We had a discussion about it remember?
