Chris21010 well if this goes on another 24 hours both teams will cross the finish line on the same update.
Yes that was my point - once the update posts both teams will have finished. Either we can raise the finish line to 700 or maybe the team with the most points on the update. Either way both teams were set to have completed the challenge by now. So then the question is Who won? rs

bain64 Hey guys. I was 5 days late to register, totally my fault. After I registered, I was added to the contestant's page but my name didn't get added to any team page. Do my points still count for team Central? Again, sorry for late registration.
I'm afraid if you're not listed under the individuals page you didn't make the cut off. Sorry.
Ok, thanks man. I'll try again next year. Exciting finish with the server problems though!

I'm glad Stanford at least gave us a temp fix for stats, but socks that Stanford IT has no incentive to redirect the dns temporarily to alleviate the downtime.

DutchForce informed me that we are close to adding a 6th GPU to give away. Donations for the GPU pool will remain open until the drawing for prizes. Donations for other prizes will close once the prize selection process has begun. Hurry up and get any last minute donations in and a big thanks to our incredibly generous teammates that have already donated to the amazing list of prizes we get to give away!

This is historic, really. The contest is more about team than prizes, but we have never had a give-a-way like this EVER. I am probably like many of you just blown away! Thank you all!! Thanks for the announcement Troy. :)

Congrats everyone. Thanks for letting me be a part of this epic event. I will definitely be back for next years contest. It's amazing what people can accomplish when we all work towards a common goal. There really is no one winner, Because we are all winners due to the dedication of time and energy searching for a cure for this debilitating disease.

Congrats to EM alliance! My fellow CPO teammates are not far behind. Great job! I just got back from a business trip and thankfully my PC powered through with no problems during my absence.
