Hi, Runn3R
Yes tried twice and still getting the same message!, ???
I can't find any links to my profile to check my email address, but I did get a activation email so I guess it should be OK, and clicking on the link provided was approved,
The only login screen I see is http://gooc2009.gigabyte.com.tw/web/Eng/gigabyte_action.html you show in your post,( Ahh been every where man),
Is nobody else getting a problem logging in?
Cheers

Hi

the test shown that you email account is working properly, however the format of your email (probably ".plus.com" at the end) seems not to be accepted by server which is hosting the competition. unfortunately till next Monday nothing can be done with this as the server is placed in Taiwan and there is bank holiday today and tomorrow.

so my suggestion as temporary solution (but enabling you to participate) is to use alternative email account, just ending with @hostname_example.co.uk or @hostname_example.com. I hope this will help :P

Hi, runnR3
Success, ;D
Used the postmaster addy and it worked, amyanised ;D
I did input another email addy as suggested,  and that did not work either,
thinking about it may be taking a few days to update server details, or as it is a national holiday there I snook under the  radar ::)
Any way thanks for your help, we got there in the end ;D legs eyes and legs crossed now,
Thanks
Pete

I can't wait that long!!! :P

BAH! Gues I'll just have to.....

Ahh,
Only about 10,000 over the top in my guess :o

See, I guessed around that score the first time (I think I was over maybe)

And then I posted another score, but higher than the final.... but I heard rhumors someone got near that score in the semi's (does that count?)

Oh well, I didn't win. But I still refer to my question.

No where on that list does it say which high score counted. It just says "the highest score". It doesn't specify that it's only the finals, at least, no where I can find. And I looked online and read that in the semi finals, someone broke 30k? (I don't recall if it used PhysX or not) but again, no listing to say if it can or can't include physX?

Maybe someone can clarify? Rui couldn't find out the other day...
