I was blown away when I saw a (new to me) name at the top of EST throwing up 2.2 Million a day.
 
But... http://folding.extremeove...ry.php?s=&u=477916
 
EOC does not concur.  I'm wondering if maybe there's a decimal point in the wrong place somewhere....  22,000 ≠ 2,200,00

    Don't worry, the contest has not started yet, so those numbers don't actually reflect what you are producing. Everything will work once the contest begins.

    Time Period:
    • The contest will start  October 24th and end when a team has reached 30 million points.

    Isn't that today?

    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

    If you must know, Troy told me what it is. The other names in the list are the difference between when he first started showing stats and now. Those few at the top were added in and instead of going through the stats manually to find what their starting numbers were he just entered 0 for the initial point total. So it is calculating points and PPD based on their lifetime EVGA contributions.
     
    Once the contest starts, everybody with have an initial point total of whatever their total was at the start time. From there on every hour that initial total will be subtracted from your current total, giving the contest points.
     
    There is nothing wrong with the calcs, it works fine.

    I thought you had signed up already. Troy said anyone can join in during the contest period, you're just not eligible to win prizes.

    If he make it in before the first stats update, he might still be eligible for a prize.

    And the first update hasn't been posted yet. So........I guess you're eligible for prizes. That is, if you want to be.

    Thats depends on drougnor when he returns (which probably won't be before the first points drop).  If he's willing to look up your history from the start point...then its all good.
