Dear World Community Grid Teams, Members and Admins,
----------------------------------------I am pleased to announce a new MEGA-EVENT! Something special on the occasion to a big milestone here on the grid. Something you can not miss... Something you and your team needs... Something the whole world is waiting for!    Ladies and Gentlemen, ...  We would like to invite all teams to participate in the challenge and hope that many of you will be joining. More information, a special trailer for the event and more detailed statistics (update every hour after start) regarding the challenge can be found on our special challenge sites at seti-germany.de: WCG - 10th Birthday Challenge (the special event sites are under construction, so please be patient to our organization team :D) This year, the Challenge is NOT ONLY an "overall points challenge"! In addition to the "traditional" birthday challenge, this year, there are also sub-project challenges for all active projects with "permanent" work (FAAH, CEP, MCM for now). YOU ONLY NEED TO REGISTER YOUR TEAM FOR THE "10th Birthday Challenge". No need for special registration to subproject challenges. Those challenges are in addition and will be shown only on our special challenge website statistics (of course hourly update for subprojects)! Your participation is very much appreciated! Please inform your Team-Captain to join this challenge !!! Link to the WCG-Challenge: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challe...lenge.do?challengeId=6833 I want to give my special thanks to the WCG-Tech-Team! Without your support, an event like this could not exist!! Greetings to all over there!! sincerely XSmeagolX

Hi XSmeagolX,
----------------------------------------Since we have an active captain, we are, of course, ¡IN  One question: what points will be counted? 1. for WU's returned AND validated during Challenge (even for those started/sent to crunchers prior the Challenge)? 2. for WU's returned during Challenge (even for those started/sent to crunchers prior the Challenge)? 3. for WU's sent to crunchers AND returned AND validated during Challenge? 4. for WU's sent to crunchers AND returned during Challenge? 5. ? Thanks in advance and cheers   Crunching@Home since January 13 2000. Shrubbing@Home since January 5 2006  |

Edit: I am a totally n00bish in these things, so how they are working (maybe a link or hint where to find the answer)? TIA Welcome on the party, branjo!! It is "easy"! All work, validated during the challenge, will be counted. So, all participants can download work prior the start and keep them until the party begins, if they want to. BUT: They must be validated during the challenge. (So quorum 1 projects like FAAH would be good for the "traditional" challenge, but won't help for ranking in all the subproject-challenges... And be aware of the deadline (10 days for workunits on WCG!). Ok... seems a bit more complicated now... But i hope, you understand my explanation! Greetings XSmeagolX

Daily wcg statistics for a utc day are build on what 'validates' between 00:00:00 and 23:59:59. The challenge scores feed off these. There does not exist any other mechanism, so buffer all you can well before the race and hold till commencement. Then buffer again well before the end, so any returned results gets validated kind of immediate. There's the task picking too, only compute those for which the wingman has already returned the result and more variations on 'how to outsmart the opponents' , that is if you really are set on winning or beating the nearest above you in the race
Have a jolly battle. |
