Yep Contol F5 worked for me ... at least in the sense I can see the winners!

I've emailed the EVGA email posted in the article regarding whom to contact if I've won, but they have not gotten back to me since I sent the first one on Saturday. Who should I contact regarding the event? Thanks!

AFKing in lobby is against the competition correct? In 20hrs i manage to rack 550k points none stop while others literally just hit 150k which is literally 5hrs of gameplay worth lol. Will scores have any impact in future competition, i feel like it should to counter some ppl from AFKing in lobbies when no current game is active and what not.

Well they must be online and doing something else the AFKtimer would pop up and kick them from server.

You can just AFK in lobby or just barely tap the keyboard/mice while in game with others. I actually joined a late game where everyone was saying one dude was a afker and he was. took like 20+ mins til he was gone and guess what... He won a prize last event. So ya, this is why I am bringing this up timer and POINTS need to be counted towards eligibility in events.

 
1.  I'm not sure how points are calculated and assigned in Killing Floor, but it's at least possible it is dependent on difficulty.  I do know that for the first week Germany and Hong Kong were running on Hard.  This might have been a mistake as Hong Kong changed to suicidal and Germany to Hell on Earth in the second.  But does this effect points?    You are going to penalize people playing on a lower level difficulty?  I suspect with your score you are not only a good player (gratz by the way! :)) but you probably have Level 25 perks and can cope easily with Suicidal, others may not be as experienced or as good.
 
2. What I like about Killing floor for me is that it is a coop game.  While people may get some kicks out of having the most kills, it's working together as a team that I personally like.  I tend to get very low kill counts as a medic for example ... will that affect my points?  Do we want to encourage people to kill steal not and work as a team?  Again I'm only assuming that's going to affect how points are calculated.
 
3. What about ping?  My best ping on EVGA servers is 200.  A couple of times it's been suggested I move to a different server but that is my best.  It's a worldwide competition with four servers.  That's absolutely fine and I personally don't mind the ping.  I tend to play damage over time perks like flame or medic for healing ... but will that disadvantage me because you can get better score because of a better ping just because of where you are geographically located?  Is that fair?
 
4. How about people simply being new to the game or only having low level perks to play and only being able to play Suicidal?  I suspect they will die a lot which I suspect affect their points.  Actually for this reason I think there probably should always be a Hard server personally, but that wasn't the case in the second week.
 
5. Is it reasonable to wait a few minutes on Suicidal for a group to form ... I think so.  Many a time I've been the first to arrive for the next round an it might take 10-20secs for the rest to arrive.  Might adding scoring to the equation encourage people to start ASAP once they enter and not wait?  It maximises your points/minute while denying others .... yuk ... not my idea of coop or even friendly.
 
6. (A biggie) How does one score in one game equate to one score in another?  There are numerous games we could have played not just Killing Floor how do you equate them?
 
All that said adding scoring to the contest would only advantage me ... I am high up the scoring list personally like you ... but somehow it doesn't seem in the spirit of the contest or of the game.
 
Also looking at the scores I'm not seeing a endemic problem.  Sure maybe a couple of people out of the hundreds that logged in.  Are you sure that adding points into the mix will make it better and not worse?   Bear in mind that if this all gets too complex and people complain and it's hard to fix, one solution for this is for EVGA not run ANY contests or not include Killing Floor.  I'm just guessing, but I suspect they are trying to engage the gaming community not enrage it.   So they might just look at another option ... is that really what you would want?  It's certainly not what I want and that is my biggest concern.
 
That's just my 2c and while I concur with your distaste for the rorting of the rules I'm not convinced about your solution and in fact suspect what is there currently might still be the simplest and best.  Let's not kill the golden goose!
 
Thanks again from me anyway EVGA for hosting another fun event, I thoroughly enjoyed it  and good luck to everyone :).  I'm already looking forward to the next one ;)

You are completely wrong about point 1, Hong Kong and Germany were on Hard ... I know because I played on them ... and from within the first hour.  Both SAID Suicidal on the description but both ACTUALLY ran on hard.  This does not help your credibility it must be said.  Also you seem to have failed to address the point of how it should be handled with different difficulties in the same event.
 
You didn't address death in point 4 at all.  Just that you help out your teammates.  Glad to hear that :).  I'm personally still expecting the Level 1 toon to go down regularly on Suicidal though and the question remains how that affects their score.  If there isn't a Hard server available in the comp (like week 2) should they be penalised?
 
So on point 5 you admit to waiting for group up to 30mins?  ... and that's OK for you to do but not others?  Wasn't that what you were compaining about?  Again my point I prefer a competition which encourages coop not rewards non team playing.
 
If someone (you or anyone) has a complete better solution that's great .. happy to hear it.  If you want to replace something you need to replace it with something that is better not worse ... and not just better for some or the elite.
 
Regardless, congrats on your score and I wish you luck in the draw. :)

Well, when the event started I got on all servers and all were set to Suicide. Funny how you wanna mention that you opinion discredits mine but yet I do not see you offering any proof that it was. Second, I joined late games where I stat in spectator mode and missed on a lot of points first half of the total waves. At this point I did not care, If I missed any or not b/c I was putting full effort into the game. Third, that 30min que was the only and last time I ever waited on, as a result I ended up putting additional hours in the +35hr cap b/c I felt like I did try to cheese the event. I put in at least 37-38hrs extra. Final option, like I said, there needs a soft cap that is easy to get but at the same time discourage cheezerz in the event.
 
Sounds to me that you want these events to be exploited and not improved on b/c I do not see you offering anything at all except non-sense.
 
 Edit.
I have been entering these EVGA contest for years, only thing that I want is stuff to be fair for all. FYI, have not won jack squat at all nor expect it to, just want the best for the community is all.
 
A Blast from the past. Enjoy.

That's fine.  We have different opinions.  As for the servers the state of the servers, I can personally of course not prove it ... yet still know it to be true myself.  You are correct in that others reading will not be able to distinguish which of us is right unless they themselves played.  Feel free to believe that this discredits my arguments if you wish.
 
You are also free to believe what you want of me also although I think your assessment is harsh, unfair and not true, but I don't see how I can convince you that I simply have a different opinion.
 
Also sorry to hear you've had no luck over the years ... perhaps this will be your tournament ... take care and good luck! :)
