Here let me assist you in staying that way... *grabs the wire cutters and starts cutting a few cable* I said something to Madrias that made him laugh, along the lines of being surrounded by competitive males currently, but I can't post it cause of TOS  . ...."Time to BBQ a few sausages."

Don't leave, kram, we need every point we can get to defend our title! I agree it's been frustrating waiting for the contest to start, but that's the risk of a random start time.

If you compare what's showing on EOC to what the TZC stats page shows it is way off. CST stats are grossly over inflated and I have notified Troy.

Not sure how you are comparing contests stats to EOC that has not yet posted those stats. EOC updates every 3 hours, we update every hour.

Guess that all depends on which team you happen to be folding with.  Remember the disclaimer at the top of the stats page. Looking good everyone!
Fold! It does a body good!™Mac Pro Dual Quad Core X5570 - 2 x Mac Pro Dual Quad Core X5365 - 2 x Asus Z8NA-D6C, Dual Hex Core E5645 - Supermicro H8QGi-F-O, Quad 12-Core Opteron 6174 - Supermicro H8QGi-F-O, Quad 16-Core Opteron 6272 - Tyan S8812, Quad 12-Core Opteron 6166HE - Supermicro H8QGi-F-O, Quad 12-Core Opteron 6164HE - 5 x EVGA Classified GeForce GTX 590

Remember too that EOC stats lag by an hour too. What wee will see at 9:00 CST, will not match with what EOC posts as 9:00 CST. This is how they are able to have the stats compiled by about 10 min after the hour rather than waiting at least a half hour for them to come in.

I know how kram feels. I have 0 points but dropped 400k today. Y
The contest should have started at midnight this morning. Puts a damper on the contest for me. Since I only run bigadv's I won't be dropping points for a while.

Thier is a reason troy was being so secret with the start time guys, he didn't want you to time your big adv units to drop right at the start of the contest

I haven't done anything but fold for the last few years, never stopped or paused a work unit for any contest. This isn't the CC it's a contest within EVGA. Who care s if someone timed out the start of the contest.

I give it time... the stats are normalizing a bit...
even after a day or two... if there is an issue troy can fix the stats and correct for any errors.
I haven't jumped to conclusions yet.
