I thought I would start this in a seperate thread so we don't lose site of the CC topic.
 
Here is my thoughts.
#1 GREAT IDEA. we would be teamed up with other teams from around the world so there would be no reason to re allocate points to another team.
#2 You would still be producing points for your own team, so no reason not to join the contest.
 
#3 We could get prize donations from all over the world.
 
#4 Promote a fair and civil contest that only benifits the folding community not a single team
 
#5 Would just be plain fun!
There is a lot of work involved but we could recruit help from other teams with their understanding it is our contest idea so we will have control. Not that its gotta be an EVGA thing.

+5!!! lets do it..

May I add...
 
I like the idea of a sig badge like the ones you see in the Crunching world. Just shows you participated. 
 
A lot of teams in the WCG world just participate as a way to keep in connection with their members and draw attention to new ones. Not many talk about winning anything.
 
Not to mention a lot of them are in memory of or for someone/something....

I'll have to agree with Punchy that all teams should hold the prizes in house.  Worldwide is going to be insane to track!

So far sounds good. I'm in.

I might be convinced to join, but I won't be captain of CST.  That's for sure.

Cripes. I think I'm gonna need a bigger stats system... I have an artificial 255 person max . . . This could push thousands of people. 
 

 
Yup, time to strap that nerd on and see what I can do to kick things into the next level, I guess.
 
And, on THAT note, the further out we can push this thing, the happier I'll be!  *laughs*
 
Now, to seriously strip this crap apart, see what will survive, see what I need to meet higher levels of participation . . .

I might be convinced to join, 

Puppy dog eyes don't work on me, but you know what, I feel if I can keep temps down, count me in and sign me up.

Count me in... prizes should be kept within teams, as suggested.  The communication for this contest might be a bit cumbersome, but we could have each team rally their own troops and distribute the info/bring back input.  Stats should be centralized.  I vote drougnor, pimp extraordinaire.
 
@tank, your post at [H] is well done.  No reason to edit.

yes!!,  you'll have to contact zodac
 
they have stringent anti-spam measures in place - anyone posting a contest outside of OCN is considered spam
I got dinged for it
 
actually devdog or me could do it (pm zodac)...explaining it to them
 
 
 

Yeah, I think it's a great idea. I'm just trying to get initial feedback from teams but I wouldnt mind help getting the word out.

Alright for general knowledge purposes, Zodac is no longer team captain for OCN she has retired. Apparently she got married, so congrats to her. But Im in the process of finding out who the new authority in OCN is so they can post the idea. I also talked to Adak over at OCF. He thought it was an interesting idea, and said he would pass it along to his teammates. He's busy with another DC contest so he couldnt help me any further.
