Hey all, just wanted to bring something on HWBot to your attention.
You may have noticed recently that Dino, Fester and James have changed how they are seen at the bot. Instead of having three separate accounts, they now are all in one account together, called Team.AU This is similar to what BenchBros, OClab.ru and others do.
This allows them three to share any hardware - CPU and GPU, anything. It gets submitted all under one name, so if one gets a golden chip they can share it between themselves for CPU benchmarks, or a golden GPU likewise. It also means there is no confusion in bench sessions, and with three people all working together, there is potential for them to perhaps reach higher in the leagues than they could do individually.
The downside is for the team. With only one submission per HW config counting, it reduces the number of global and hw points they contribute to the team compared to the three scores they may have all had individually.
Obviously doing this means you have to give up your individual account.
Thoughts? It makes more sense to me if you are in the ProOC, or if you all live near each other. The power of three could be more than the power of one. But the team suffers in that regard.
