Just to clarify the situation, we are looking at the logs to see if we can find any entry showing Uncle Fester submitting before the submission deadline.

LOL, you talk about believable in a Kingston contest? :D

 

1600C9 is actually for advanced people. Some of the kits were made with BDBG and some of the kits used same PCB as "the other RAM maker".

I saw 1600c9 Gskill do 2660 6-9-6 at wc on computex, so what´s the problem? Mems were retail, approved by judges :)

The rule was not set at the beginning of the competition so we can't/won't add it now. Doesn't make sense now that only 1,5 weeks is left.

the rule doesn't effect benching though, its not like change in benchmark version and someone has to re-bench. its additional photo verification which is totally acceptable i think, get people to show serials that match to the spd in their screenshot. if you are 100% legit why would you have a problem with it, just take picture and go to vegas!

These are Kingston values, with psc :) - I had a kit that did 1200 7-11-8-28 1,66v 32m air, 1250+ c6 on cold is no big hurdle for these, I see no reason to have doubts as the SPD, the picture and the result match perfectly

Marmott this is two sticks from the several mostly working RMA sticks that I got when I started working at OC UK. Several months even before first HOT comp.

To add and clarify I saw many others posting random heatspreaders here and there so I added a pic knowing it was not a requirement of the only stick I never removed IHS from many moons ago. Why because its DOA.

marmott
marmott

The rule was to show a picture of the heatspreader last year and nothing this year prevents us to ask for the same thing at the moderators discretion.

 

Last year there was no issue so why all of a sudden this year there should be? Same for the LATAM and APAC qualifier this year, everything went okay.

 

I feel a lot of it is personal and has nothing to do here. Now I will let the HWBOT moderators do their job, they've proven in the past they are more than capable.

 

We will clarify the rules for the NA qualifier.

The rules are to use Kingston memory. Whether or not it is directly stipulated in the rules, why would they not be able to request proof of that? If there is any doubt, Kingston and hwbot should be able to request for any reasonable information necessary to remove that doubt. Not rocket science.

My friend, you cannot understand my order!

I said, is this a memory (Kingston HyperX) ?

While it is said that in the contest rules, must get used to KingstonHyperX memory.

Please, about people,don't judge quickly.!?!

Good luck my friend

My memory is KingstoneHyperXFury(1866MHz)

I think its not good when people not submit scores to get an friend qualified :) Just my opinion.

8 Pack's XTU wasn't valid cause he forgot to put background, that's why score was removed

I mean that he did not submit his 32m, only after contest.

Ban ban and ban for 8pack and friends. The guys were right about wolf

You cant accept your lose? Grow up and be a man and fight not this crying games.

8pack maxxmem submit must be removed, wrong screenshot. Mr Pieter Jan Plaisier, you said no submit would be allowed after deadline, right? Be a man and keep your word

Also, 8pack removed both xtu and super pi submission. You remember his previous? 4:37:15 that was better than vivi?

 

You should ban him and vivi. Clear hwbot from dirty games. We just need justice, and no more!

I really appreciate you iranian guys but if there is one thing to learn from this sport is that it is like evert sport on planet.If you are within rules then fairplay is not necesary.As far as i know each participant can submit and remove his submission by free will,there is nothing to be done against that.

If you don;t like it then don;t participate.Justice?How do you define justice in this game?

 

Really great maxxmem submission from varand!

Yes, i talking about justice. You heard about it?

Justice is removing 8packs maxxmem or editing it to 33900, as his screenshot. This cause 8packs disqualify.

Yes, he is allowed to submit any score and delete any of them, but not affecting a third person. In football games you could allow 100 goals to save a team from relegation or qualify, but after match both parties will be punished. This is justice. Got it?

 

Also, Vivi, shame on you. You have tons of hardwares at your disposal and you still can not beat a man with just one memory kit? You think you deserve it? How you name yourself a moderator? You are the man to keep this community clean? Shame...

The first thing that comes to my mind is the World Cup games where both teams tied and they went together in next phase of the competition.Same here.

I see wrong score at 8 packs maxmem - screen shows 33936 - two points less at the score board, he is out, what´s the problem?

Yes, youre right. But if its proved that they played for tie and it was a collusion you know what could happen...

 

You dont have to search for truth and make investigations. Here is the proof:

 

my friends saw that i was in trouble and decided to shuffle their scores to help me qualify. the same was did in aooc by benchbros. If it's not legal i will take my loss like it is. They strategized to help me, so if any blame must go it is to me

 

Everything is crystal clear. If you cant see, its because you have closed your eyes

Two points, perica_barii moves to 2nd (18pts, doesn't matter for his final position), 8pack is 3rd (16pts). Still minus 2pts for 8pack so he's out, varand is in :)

You are right, already corrected my mistake, result still is the same and excatly what you wrote

TaPaKaH

Normally, when entered value for submitted score is incorrect, it is corrected by a moderator to represent the score submitted.

There isn't any verificational issue (as far as I can see) so no additional screenshots after competition has ended should be accepted.

Mr.PENTA
Mr.PENTA

As we know, the hwbot is very well known for clarity in their judging, and holding best competitions in the field.

Unfortunately, last match was unfair, and two of the members ( vivi, 8pack) have submitted manipulated test results. We can provide you with the documents clearly showing their cheating in this match.

We would really appreciate hwbot administrators if they follow our complaint.

Also 8pack's maxxmem score was mismatch with the screenshot and clearly he's out

i am sorry for guys who manipulated results in last minuts that only varand (iranian) be out of top 3, such a weak!

any way I really want to see this words from hwbot adminastators again: "rules are rules" because if rules are rules, 8Pack is out because of worng screen shot and can not be edit after competition as hwbot adminastators said before.

 

that`s it!

@iranians, i know you are all furious at me and throwing words around like "cheater" and "disrespectful". I was in a position where i was able to get my friends to help me. As i can see in this thread you guys are a great and strong bunch of friends. So you know how it is to be supported by your allies. Your maxmemm is totally godlike no one can take that away from you. Much respect.

 

@friends, as most of you know this has been eating me up inside and feel terrible, it was bad sportsmans ship from my side.

 

Sincerest apologies to the iranians, community, hyperX and Hwbot

Wizerty

@Vivi :

Every one is agree, this is not "fair", but this is not cheating... all your submissions are legit, and there is A BIG difference between "don't be fair one time", and be a cheater...

 

So don't worry bro, we all have weakness, we are human....

And as far as I know, you are probably one of the most fairplay guy around there.

You trying to help other guy, even in contest, you share knowledge...

We can't forget years of righteousness (this word really exist :D ?) for only one "bad choice".

Vivi didn't exactly go twisting people's arms to do that sort of thing. By pulling out, he is saying he is the main person responsible and i think that is bigbunnyextraction so it is a tough decision also as he wasn't the main culprit here....
