  • Punchy has generously lent us his services to help making the gift distribution easy and painless.  For more information on selecting your preferences please see this thread: http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=1806728
  • The random drawing will take place in the next day or two, after the drawing takes place you will have 7 days to make any gift preference selections.
  • If anything is not clear or there are any questions, please ask either Punchy or myself.  We do the best we can, but are only human with obligations outside these forums.  Once gifts are distributed, all decisions are final.  "I didn't know" is not a valid excuse.

  • All the stats should be displaying correctly now.  Please let me know if there are any problems with a stats page or an individual's stats.
 
11/15/2012
  • The 2012 Time Zone Challenge is underway!  Stats should start posting the next update.
  • Thanks again to drougnor for providing us hourly stats directly from Stanford!
  • I am not sure that everyone is in the stats system yet, I am waiting to hear from drougnor.
  • Not everything is finished yet.  The team graph and hourly team stats have not been updated to the 2012 stats yet.  There are a few additional things planned as well that I hopefully can get to tomorrow evening.
  • Last year people indicated they wouldn't mind ads on the site with the revenue generated being donated to the prize pool (note: it will have to be more than $100 in revenue to be able to withdraw it).  I threw a few ads on the bottom of most of the pages, but if people find them too annoying I can easily remove them.

    Now you're talking like a Pimp. Treating Shykal like a piece of meat
    and saying the last MAD dog will be getting the scraps.
     
    I figure Shykal needs some defending, because she does so much bending.
    Must be from all those gymnastics cheerleaders take. It also makes their fantastic rears tweak & ache
     
    Besides, I thought the pimps were run over by the last street race Fast & Furious had
     
    The heat is on

    Ooo mountain man rhyming and being poetic.
    You'll be the one tweaking and aching Mountain man when you see CST and my rear way ahead of you .
    As I'm supposedly good at bending, lemme see you do this as good XZ

    While CST is ahead I'll shake my tail feathers to remind you you're behind.

    of this month?
     
    the contest starts next month on the 15th
    60 Million points for a single team 
    30Million PPD(entire team)/4 = 7.5M AVG PPD x7 days=50M
    some teams make more.... some less
     
    could be all over before the 22nd of Nov
    I suspect it will longer, but you never know with hardware purchases, new members 
     
    Every bit helps Barbarossa, Even if you can't stay the duration

    No, Nov 22nd morning CET.  So have to shut down latest the 21st evening..
    The comp starts Nov 15th in my morning.  So 60 mil contest points/ 6 days is still a ~10 mil ppd just for MST. Even with all our heavy hitters, I doubt we´ll make that

    I'm not blue XZ I'm mischievous and wolvish . (missing Madrias yes but he should be dropping by the library and visiting sometime in the next few days)
     
    I can tame any beast Kerry, after all I tamed Madrias and he's a wild cunning wolf that one yup.
    And Kerry, that's not a wolverine, this is a wolverine

    that's Ok if you end early (no different than Blackout or hardware failure)
    then figure on an average (missing a few days)
     
    I'll get RMA back and my new rig probably up ...so I should be helping out more

    So in honor of Mad, Shy, XV, and all of the CST team. It wouldn't seem right until this party was started off right.
