I understand the above, but still: at 12:00 AM EST on 10/24, the top three folders in the EST list are getting their historical overall folding points counted as contest points. Surely this is an error in the URL in the cell formula for these three?



No it is not.  As stated, the stat numbers are meaningless...stop trying to find meaning in them.

Then allow me to paint a picture for you: I just endured the stress of cleaning a non-self-cleaning oven.  Until 2 days ago, I was unware they still made oven that don't self-clean.  Now back to the contest...
 
 
Edit: Compared to that, the contest is a piece of cake.

Somebody says this during each and every competition :P

Man is capable of as much atrocities as he has imagination.  
People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.

Your fine, you signed up just in time cause it hasn't officially started yet.

Well, the rules state you must sign up before the day the contest starts, not just before the contest starts.  Can someone clarify the rules?  Either way I will be able to at least produce the amount I claimed, and I will do at least that amount on a daily basis (assuming no issues).
 
Oh, and I also put a capital letter to start my forum name by accident.  If I qualify, will that be an issue?

I understand the wording (I read them).  I just want confirmation from the people running the contest the wording means exactly that.  Sometimes things are not exactly as they are stated, and there has not been any post claiming the people eligible for prizes has been locked.

Troy hasn't had a chance to disable the registration form yet, so I'm sure he will give you acception scott.

j/k, I know

Ya I seen this too 
 
Seems to me having 3 million points(for the contest)  posted (and you only have 7 Million(total personal) and 
on average produce 24k is  notably off.
 
and patchesanook only produced 6.7K for the contest so far.... so 2.1 Million isn't right either
and capple has 1 WU for 450pts  and it shows 1Million
 
Troy had a long day. he'll fix it when the contest starts

Yeah, I had just looked at the raw data without paying attention to "no name" entries and duplicates. I just took them out and I found 225.But when I look at the team counts, I find 224.

I think I was right. The newest entry, Scott91575, is not yet under EST. So, that makes us 225.

A nice progress chart like HWC had for CC.
 
Something like this, please.

a bargraph showing how many killowatts used for this contest!(or if you can make the old style spinny dial from the powermeter, my new one is a digi lcd readout)
 

 
50F outside, and I still have a window open with a fan circulating air to get down to 72F with the GX2s running!

Something like this would be very difficult to do in the framework we are working with, but probably not impossible.  For now you get a nice little bar graph showing over all progress.
 
I'll put what I've got so far up on the page in a minute.
