Tell me Ady, want to race? biggrin

Unlike the open challenges have been, we now have a way to stack teams or run races that have limited entry. Like teams under a specific size to run in small groups or two very close teams can "have it out".

The objective is to explore the vistas that hopefully spearhead the next generation of the team challenge system, while promoting the advertizing backbone that will bring viewership, at the same time.

There are only 8 days left before the races start. Let's not waste it on banter about an ad that isnt even endorsed by the company. It's there as eye candy only. The original ad sells a car model. "Wouldn’t you rather have a Buick".

Currently, the races that have been created have been match-ups from the bunny race. These were very close then, will they still be close now?

Soon, more races will pop up as we get closer to the opening day ceremonies on the 27th..

Looks like we have a race! With team Boinc@Poland still to check in, MyOnlineTeam has answered the call to battle with Team In2My.Net.

shock

Oh, thats me! shock

There are 7 more races still to check in, but if you have a race or race idea, don’t be shy. Soon I will have more to show as well. Just we have to start somewhere, so it is best to do something simple, like class racing. But shortly we can stack teams to allow the big teams to compete with combined groups. Even an us vs them, where one group of team battles another group.

You get the picture, the sky’s the limit. biggrin
