usually in such contests they have to carry their own LN2/d'ice pots... and cooling materials(insulation and stuff)
thats why i was asking :D
 
this is sort of a unique thing for me, wherein they will cover even a product failure for the first time and give u a replacement for it so that you can continue with the competition. Also out here we are not talking about Dice but LN2, wherein even LN2 pots will be given by the sponsors. But LN2 benching is on 2nd day and not included in competition but only for personal records and fun.

Hardware Mods are also allowed so basically, participants have to carry their own Modding Hardware, whatever you can think of, surge protectors, some insulation for 2nd day etc.

So I hope this clears it now:bleh:

@ Banik, replacing hardware one time if it goes bad is nothing new. All the compy I have been to they replace the part one time. If you can get going well & good. Else you are in "DNF" Catagory.
