Come on CENTRAL!!!  I'm bleeding my rigs for those few more extra points.  And its bad enough that the A/C kicked on in the middle of the night when it was 36*F outside. 


That is why I leave my Windows Open and I even have 20" Fans in Two Open Windows Pulling in that 20F-30F air in to my home bring down my inside are to about 58F. 51F for a Low and 64F for a High.

Heating the house folding and crunching, I have not use much fuel oil this year.
Not producing so much heat that I have to open a window though.

Even with The East and Central having more Players they also have MORE STATES.
This really needs to be re-looked at. Number of States are Highest in the East then the Central then Mountain and then last Pacific.
Poor Pacific they only have 4 and a half States. How was the TZC ever a Fair Challenge?

 
Pacific and Mountain Together Would be Far to Central and the East.
Three Teams not Four Teams would be a Legitimate Challenge.
 
Only my 2 and a Half Cents.

People, I see. I did have to lookup ppl found to be slang for people.
This is what we get to texting and not using Keyboards any more.
All I can use is a KB and most of the time not very well.

Mountain will always have the fewest people - mostly prairie or mountain area
lots of land -mostly farmland or mountain - so very few people on it
 
AB(Can) SK(Can) - prairie
MT prairie
ID - mountain
WY - prairie
UT -mountain
CO -mountain- prairie
AZ -desert
NM desert
 
I think California (a single state) has more pop than all the Mountain zone
and BC(Can) has more pop than AB(Can),SK(Can)
 
the problem for Pacific (California) is high electric costs...ie nuke plants and heat(and AC)
 
East coast was settled first - most of the industrial base of US is there
so most of the population is there - most of the trade is Atlantic trade ... Europe for longest time
as people moved inland central would be next largest occupied space
so from prairie to west coast has low population - and most would settle on the opposite coast
some due to the Gold rush
 
why would you want to live in a desert when you can have nice sunny beaches
 
Anyway I digress....
 
the contest was never ever Fair...OK I can live with that
then leave the weaker zones some chance of some upset - ie the assignment of those outside the zones to the weaker ones
because seeing it EST,CST,MST,PST.....well next year it should be EST,CST,PST,MST  
year after year is pointless
 
 
 
id be happy with PST winning it once - if they could afford to run the rigs
 
Mountain will be in dead last soon with the 4p's going going to the wayside - we just don't have the members to compete against a larger force folding on gpus
I can see us being in dead last next time
 
so we have gpu farms ? (what a dozen members with farms) - well that gets balanced out by everyone on your teams folding on GPUS too
---------
 
so what the alternative???
foldathon?
Zonal challenge (place states/provinces together in a ways that matches them up population wise)? - this gets complicated
XMAS games?...don't let Rudolph play any reindeer ones
