Alright, we're cut off on signups. We're locking up over the next 12 hours or so to ensure we're all set for the kickoff at midnight of the 1st!
 
Best of luck to you, and let's get our best Pimp faces on, ladies and gents!

Just to be perfectly clear that is midnight EDT -4 GMT right, 23 hours and 45 minutes from now?

 
12:01AM EDT Nov 1st.
 
I always think of midnight as the end of the day.  April 15 midnight is the deadline to get your taxes filed.
Meaning you have all day of the 15TH to do them.
 
 

It is 2AM EDT right now/ Or 6:00 UTC time
 
So it is 22 hours from now. 

Ok Chaps and Chapess's, I'm in!
I'm not sure I'll make the startline on time but, barring technical issues, I should be contributing 24-48hrs after.
BRING
IT
ON!!!!!!

Cool
 
And we are about to start:
Eastern Time      (US)  Avg PPD 624,344  #Members 61
Central Time      (US)  Avg PPD 543,943  #Members 53
Mountain Time   (US)  Avg PPD 763,151  #Members 16
Pacific Time       (US)  Avg PPS 474,722  #Members 18
Other (In The World)  Avg PPD 538,125  #Members 24
Let It Flow or in our Terms Fold.

Never really looked at the stats this way - but will probably add something along these lines this year!

After some thought, I have relented and allowed the last three entrants into the system.  We're REALLY locked down now, however. Anyone that signs up after BadBertie on that list is just sitting on the sidelines.
 
This places us at a grand total of 173 participants at the starting gun of the TZC! Heck yeah!! Let's get those beasts purring and fold us some PROTEINS!

Ok, so, technically, for me, the first zero point pull will occur at 12:25am, because Stanford posts the new flat files for outside stats services at 25 minutes past the hour, but yes the points that are generated at midnight, when we transition into the 1st of November, as determined by Eastern Daylight Time will be the starting point of the contest.

So, just a hair under 13 hours from now, I'll set the zero calculation points and head to bed to see how the numbers are adding up in the morning over coffee.

I won't be twisting drougnor's arm to add any more participants (it does make me smile to see an old timer like BadBertie getting back into the mix for the contest).  Though he is incredibly generous with his time and efforts for providing these stats, he is quite busy these days and we have to be respectful of that.

Was just about to post a large update when my browser crashed and lost everything .  Probably going to be after lunch before I retype it all out.
