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!

• This year we will continue to track the traditional teams progress as we have in the past EvCvMvPvO, though the main event will a combined race Eastern and Mounatain v Central, Pacific and Other
  • Syberius81 (who lives in ETZ but is currently deployed abroad) has been moved to the Eastern Time Zone
  • Estimated PPD EM: 53,595,423
  • Estimated PPD CPO: 52,979,001
  • While these are only estimated predictions and unforeseen events and contingencies will inevitably arise (as the do every contest) it is projecting to be a very close race! 
• The new finish line target for the combined teams is 600 million points!
• We've set a challenge to fold 5 billion points as a team in the month of November!  This would be a tremendous milestone to reach for the first time as well as a large 67% growth over our target of 3 billion points last year! 
• Throughout the contest donations of both individual prizes and the Pascal GPU donor pool will continue to be accepted until the prize distribution process has begun.  This team has a history of incredible generosity and this year is no exception!!  I am somehow always amazed by the new heights of generosity of this team reaches as well as the things it can accomplish together!  If you've got some unused hardware, games etc to give away or a few dollars to spare we're happy to accept any contribution!
• The contest kicks off at 12:00 AM Eastern Time - that is any points contributed after 12:00 AM for all contestants will be counted toward the contest.
  • The stats may or may not be up and running until the following morning (depending on whether drougnor or I are able to zero them out at 12:30 AM local time) but all points will be counted from the starting point..
• You're more than welcome (and perhaps even encouraged) to have a bit of good-natured fun at each other's expense, but keep in mind that at the end of the day this is only a contest and we're all on the same team: folding to cure some horrible diseases.
• Fire up those rigs and churn out those WUs - may the best team win!

Is it GO TIME??
I am in Switzerland and trying to work out when it is MY Start time... I am always running, so do I need a start time???
 
Oh Yeah, I see the strategy, now. Stall everyone so you can get in front....
