If I understand this correctly, to join, we switch team to EVGApes instead of EVGA. Does this somehow divert points away from the EVGA promotion? The difference from last year is that we need to accomplish 100,000 points per month to meet the goal instead of 1,000,000 points per year.

Yes and No.... You can keep the team set to EVGA - Team # 111065, but would have to change your F@H User Name to EVGApes (or other name selected for CC). This would interfere with your folding totals for making the monthly requirement for the EVGA promotion. However, as stated by Barbarossa above, the guys at EVGA will see what they can do about it. Hopefully they have a plan in place well before the CC starts so we can all have things straight before it starts.

just built a new system ill be here for the chimp!

i read this that once a passkey is prime
you can use it on any username/client/machine

Re: Bonus Qualification

To restate same and answer the opening question, qualification is tied to the passkey alone. Once a passkey is qualifed, you could use it on a new machine with a new client, with any user name, on any team, and the first work unit that was eligible for a bonus that is returned before the deadline would receive a bonus.

so if someone is useing their own pass key it still needs to be primed
I figure it would be better if we use one pass key so if people are folding -bigadv and A3s
their would be no problem unless everyone is going to fold 10 units with their own key

Like I said before, we were arguing about different things.  I was arguing that the bonus wouldn't work immediately; you were arguing that the points would work immediately, which I don't disagree with.

I have done 12 A3 WU using my passkey and EVGApes Afterburners name.  The first 10 did not get any bonus, the last 2 did.

Edit: I mean with my passkey and Afterburners

I registered for the site in the OP...is that all I need to do right now?

Thanks   l337h4l for sending me a reminder on the chimp challenge.   Havent been folding for a bit.  Will get gear rolling again.  Have to do some reading and catch up on the latest w/u's.   You cant count me in for the CC10 though for sure.  I know there is enough information to get me back into the swing


Thanks again

I don't see a problem with the pass key for EVGApes, we'll have over 500 folders with that name and pass key, as soon as ten wu's
are completed by the team, the bonus points will take effect.

The one thing to think about is if we gonna do -bigadv or it may be best to do A3 WU's -smp8,with the A3's we can get the bonus about every six hours, but if we do -bigadv many of them won't be finish in time or will crash, and we won't get credit form them. 

Remember the Chimp Challenge only last Days and -bigadv WU's take about three days to finish,and many of them fail to finish.
So i think A3 WU's is the way to go,safest imo.

I thought of that too. I'm not sure if its "legal" for CC. But we could all start folding a bigadv about a day and a half before CC starts. That way we all turn in bigadv right when the gun goes off..Switching to a3's after that wouldn't be a bad idea.

That´s what you have to do any way. All wu that come in after the cutoff count. Most of them have been started before.
As for the bigadv: I see that, depending on the goal and how the race is going I can see switching from bigadv to adv. 
The bigadv have the advantage of more bonus and total points, while the regular  smp wu provide a more steady flow of points.

Full Metal Folder says only "days" in above post.. I assume that to mean less than a week?

I would agree that if the CC is only going to run for a few days then A3 WU's would be the way to go but if it is a week then -bigadv would be more prouductive. At least in theory.

I concur. I watch my systems close enough so that would be feasible for me.

wow i have been folding for  years and never heard of the CC,man i feel dumb. I am so in, sounds like a blast.
 cool this is gona be fun ! 

I can switch to -bigadv at any time
My PPD will shoot up around 30,000ppd I would say before the contest starts everyone can arm their -bigadv up
like a day or 2 before.
It all depends on what your frame time is.
I'm guess as a team we have about 50-100 bigadv folders that could pull this off

I too have the passkey so you can PM me as well for it
