I'm quickly realizing that this is going to be the best TZC ever with this and the outstanding prize pool.
Great stuff and thanks to all the organizers.
+1 yodap! Thank you to all that donated and made this possible. I have seen some pretty cool things around here through my time here, but this tops it so far.

I signed up for the TZC it was fun last year.
Kind of low on funds this year have to replace my motorcycle in order to stay in the club mine burnt when my Club Brothers garage went up in flames.

Guns, there is never any pressure to donate here, we are blessed to have many generous souls here. We would like to have you in the contest if you have the time for it. CST needs you man!!!! lol That sucks pretty hard about your bike man. Hope you are able to get back on one. I know it's therapeutic as well.

I fold with this ole pc 24 - 7 anyway so it will just keep on folding. Yes it sucks but just made a deal with one of my club Brothers for his 116 inch chopper.

Looking over the prize winners from last year's TZC - really cool of wrinvert to pass on some great prizes when he had such a high draw. That reveals a lot about his heart in regard to folding...wishing he was still folding with us...

Yea.. I wish he was still here folding with us as well. I won a evga shirt from him, forever I will remember that. We never did get to finish our conversation about our STi's and his crazy awesome built engine that I'm not sure that was finished. I really want to upgrade this old 560 of mine to actually fold with as I usually fold with my secondary card. Feel abit bad I haven't been able to as much as of late. Not sure if I'll be able to upgrade but I threw in a little to the pool.

He was truly generous, especially when it came to folding. It will be hard not having him around this year.

It may be adjusted (higher or lower) as we get closer to the start date and we get a better idea of the output we'll be generating.

The Folding challenge continues, till your Registered Time Zone completes the goal or until the Slowest TZ completes their goal ? A) Ends when your registered TZ reaches the goal B) Ends when all TZ reach the goal I think you intend to convey"answer A", just thought I'd ask in case you meant "answer B".

I am Expecting some; Last second registrations and Sandbagging by some underestimating their PPD East looking good to dominate though

That was why someone came up with the Team MOP last year. Maybe this year we could call it Comp. Then East -v- Comp, just Kidding. *give (something) away free, especially as part of a promotion. "the management did graciously comp our wine selection"

Troy or someone else can correct me if I am wrong, but answer B is correct. That is how it went down last year. Edit: at this point EST Vs everyone else wouldnt be fair, just saying

Lets stop getting worked up about how the contest, points estimates, etc look right now. With 4 weeks of registration to go, we can't say much now and by the time the contest starts the number of contestants should have increased at least 500% above the current number of participants.
Keep in mind the goal is to get together to fold some proteins and have fun. The general goal is approximately 10 days of our team folding as hard as we can and for those that want to continue on we try to set a new record for our team's largest monthly production (last year we crossed the 3 billion threshold for the first time). Please trust that things will work out and be adjusted to maintain a fun and balanced contest as best we possibly can (within the confines of the contest parameters).
