Is that the list for this year?https://sites.google.com/...zonechallenge/mountain
If it is really need to bump my PPD up a little .Think I signed up at 250k not 100 k. Really do not want to be called a sand bagger mo so then I most likely am going to be.

The contest will start within at midnight (Eastern Time US) on December 1st
So any Task that Starts Before this time do not count or the do count?
If they do not count then do we all need to turn OFF All of our Rigs up to 24 hours before midnight (Eastern Time US)?
Sucks to keep getting only P8101

They all ways have counted. You just can not turn the computer off and hold a few WU's for the start.
Be nice if my 16 cores servers would still get p8101s, but hell they do 60k ppd now days when I do fire em up.

Hay Pacific Time (US) Team if we Join team to together that is with the Mountain Time (US) Team We might have a chance to win.
What do you think about doing this?
We would still have less Team Members but not by much.

It's the times like this, the competitions... where I really loathe Cores 15 and 18.

I'll fold it all anyway because I wanna get the science done, but damn if the competitive urge doesn't rise on occasion.

Post Number 3,000... How do I note that?  Imma click Fold on the system.  Yesterday, I let all 3 GPU's pick up work units, just to test them on x99.  Had 2 core 17 and one core 15.  Now, I click fold to get the competition running with a fresh install of everything.
 
Lucky... Picked up all core 18's :-) they aren't as awesome as Core 17's, but they are thousands of times better than core 15.

 
*another edit.  Is the start time supposed to be "tonight" because I still can't find the time unless I just overlooked it.

NotFordMan, that is what was confusing me.  I couldn't find that page anywhere, and the links I clicked went to everything labeled for 2011-2012.  
 
So, I paused the WU's at 4% and will start them sometime tomorrow.  It won't be midnight for sure since I have work.
