I will be there with bells on! Just hope they base their handicap off of last years CC totals.
 
So far 1212 isn't being nice to my family so Can't be a captian but WILL have a thing or two for the prize fund this year.

Just my opinion. I feel we need to be in the CC regardless of outcome.
If we join I will give 100%

Ditto ...
 
Will be my first CC and I should be all geared up ...

Yup, what he said, Xavier Zepherious.  I figure I've cheerleaded the last two, as well as done stats work.  Might as well take a turn at some official representation, see how it fits.    Again, tho, with a team of our size, the extra hands will definitely be needed, and I'm grateful to have folks willing to help out.

I will gladly look at zero's in my crunching stats and folding stats for my other team, to go all in on my first CC.

evey thing but my 3dfx Piii rig and sub-netbook will be going full bore

already received and sent out my contact to OCN

do we have a start date yet? it would be a good idea to get some mod approval and start spamming the other topic threads (ie general, gaming, MB, gpu sections) to get people a heads up and get them in the mood and spirit of whats going on. ive been bugging the guys on TS the past few nights just to put a bug in thier ear.

I don't fold much but when it comes to the CC and flinging poop.  Count me in!  I have several GPU's and CPU's that I will be using.  Since last year, I have been getting other rigs ready for this year.  Hehe!!

Hmmm. was over at OCN
 
read that the captains already met up last week?
don't know how and why without EVGA?

However, I know that things weren't great last year. The captains met up last week, and we're discussing the changes for this year's event. Once we've got  a system we're happy with, we'll take it to our teams, and you guys can have your say on it too.
 
Until then, bear in mind that you can recruit people for Folding the rest of the year. Getting them started now means they'll be in a much better position for the CC in May. ;)
 
 
 

yep I did...
 I m still trying to get a hold of mortimersnerd @ ocn
 
as long as someone is there from EVGA we won't be in a pickle
anyways I doubt much if anything is even discussed yet
 
just hate waiting for a response to a simple email

I didn't figure that the CC forum would be on OCN
 
just figured I scan the other forum for news
 
anyways I left a PM at OCN for mortimersnerd 
we will see which one he responds to
 

Thanks to little mermaid probably we can obtain some  help from the Base Campers and  the Musketeers WCG commandos (every WU counts) so keep feed that channel and a maybe we need to do special HELP post (probably they will need a HOWTO on how to run f@h because probably most of them will be her first contribution).

Update:
OK.. so far only 3 teams have checked in the the CC Forum
 
not much discussed
only 1 proposal from OCN on stats
 
 
OCN Post:zodac
 
So what factors do you guys think are important? Last year we just went with overall team increase. I propose that, and two others:

1) Team production increase - Will be done using the handicap system, with points period for the handicap to be discussed).
2) Team conversion - Over the 10 days, how much % of the points were done by the team's CC user.
3) Absolute points -  Bonus Cpoints for every 1mil, 5mil or 10mil produced per team.
 
Date is also being discussed: however other folders(hemisphere on planet) will be heading into summer if we propose winter
that leaves spring /fall (future contests)
 
MPC wants NO Prizes and incentices gone (maybe even NO BUCKS)...(from last year - at end of contest on cc 2011 forum)

If you have Ideas submit and discuss them here or PM me or drougnor
 

There is so much fail if we go down that path again.   I don't know that I could stomach the inability to learn from past mistakes.

Afterburner

No handicaps...

Pure points gain over last six months avg. All the rest below based off of the GAINS not total points (Only the points increased above the 6 month avg)...

 
And what about teams that drop off production prior to contest to sandbag (even go to zero production)??
 
BAD IDEA!!
 

Afterburner 

• ONE Point per million block...
• ONE Point per ten million Points (So 11 total points so far) -
• TEN Bonus points for Any new team (Not team re-badges or jumpers but a per new team)

 

points may favor Teams that have CPU folders over GPU folders (bigadv  and bigadv-16)
so how about what we do for MARCH MADNESS
something for both points and WU's

2nd one unfair to smaller teams
I do like 1 point(or even 1/2 point) for every new team member (it's about bringing in new folders for ALL TEAMS) 
an 10 points for new teams (right off the start)
 

Afterburner 
Other off the wall ideas...

• No prizes beyond sig badge
• Three tears. (just an idea spoken out-loud here) Top three producing teams are one tear next tear is the next ten teams... Or break them off in glumps of similar size.
• Run it for 60 days... The last time it seemed a few teams gained a lot of new folders the last few weeks (And that is the idea of this after all) and the finishing order would have changed had a few more weeks been the timeline...
• Run it in the fall or winter months...

 

And last years thoughts... http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=999607

no prizes...we could lose teams ..ie HWC(had sponsership last year) and we may not get as many folders without incentives
and we had internal prize pool as well as OCN 
 
Tiers - yes I think this is the answer (and 3 prizes - and maybe 1 overall)
of similar folding power
 
60 days..you crazy... I don't think most will go that far (short spurt - small increase to electric bill versus 2 month hike)
 
May is almost spring... moving to April wouldn't be a bad choice
 
Still it's earlier - only 3 teams shown up...so post many ideas and discuss with others what you like to see
when we have some consensus - - barring something posted on the CC I'll bring it up
 
definitely we are against any handicap by the look of it
