Good luck Bill.
I get a kick out of how it's called the NA "finals" when there were no other qualifiers/regionals.

Yeah the NOOB invitational basis is a joke where everybody else in the world gets to qualify! Pathetic!

Yeah, pretty ridiculous. There is only one newcomer that wasn't at the competition last year. In my opinion, all OC competitions should be open competitions that involve a qualifying process and then a regional and global final.

I would just like to thank the people who have wished me well, support means a great deal, to me at least.
But like I have said on another post, I have no idea on who or how they invite people. I do know Titan had to step down for persional reasons and work stuff. Thats where the new guy came in I believe. Everyone else is the same as last year and we all heard the same comments about how last year was run.
I have no feaking clue how I was invited to last years, or even this years. I am also sorry that a large number of other people who are not only better OCer than me, but more worthy.
I also know that I have put in a ton of actual work building the relationship with Giga that I have and hope to continue having.
Having my good friend Shannon there at the event was a huge plus to me, plus many of the other friends I made durning and after that event, encluding the people at 411 which I was a member at the time all had good things to say.
What do you expect me to do? bow out of the competition and have none of us there ? plus possibly ruin my own support I have at Giga. I can't send someone in my place.
Bottom line is, something I did, something I know, someone I know, and probably a combination of all the aforementioned has gotten me to the competition last year and this year.
I am also pretty freaking happy to look at the guess a winner page and see 177 votes for me, not that that matters a whole heck of a lot, excpet that I do have some supporters out there I guess, someplace.
Its also very exciting to see other members here in other comps and doing very well, how ever they got to the comps. Good work and job well done guys and I truely hope all of you guys can experiance this your self someday, and other will go on to being tops in what they do.
Thats about all I have to say on this and will stay out of further posts, because it just feels like people need to vent instead of support.
Good luck all

Chillax old one, a good number of those votes for your booty came from right here, including my vote, so its not like anybody here doesnt support you personally or is hating on you specifically. The collective hate originates from the selection process not having anything to do with overclocking ability. Enjoy it, we support you, have fun, thats all you should be worried about. Haters gonna hate. Gratz on your successful acquisition of Gigabytes support.

THIS IS IT BILL! You go and get them!  We are all upset about the selection process and not about who is going. If you going as OCA we feel like we ALL going. Over!

^^This
Not banging on anyone that got invited by any means. It's more towards Gigabyte applying the same qualifiers and such to all regions.
