Lets stop getting worked up about how the contest, points estimates, etc look right now. With 4 weeks of registration to go, we can't say much now and by the time the contest starts the number of contestants should have increased
at least 500% above the current number of participants.
Keep in mind the goal is to get together to fold some proteins and
have fun. The general goal is approximately 10 days of our team folding as hard as we can and for those that want to continue on we try to set a new record for our team's largest monthly production (last year we crossed the 3 billion threshold for the first time). Please trust that things will work out and be adjusted to maintain a fun and balanced contest as best we possibly can (within the confines of the contest parameters).
