Just Asking again, Is a programmable remote control a valid Gift??

I would say yes. A prize is a prize.

Can it be setup so the winning team gets moved over to the next highest points team until they reach 250 million points?
Then move the two teams to the next highest on down the line until all teams have completed the 250 million points?
This would get all the teams to the goal a lot faster and in the same order of completion.
Thoughts?

This sounds like a good idea, except in the case where the remaining teams are close in points.  It would be unfair to pile everyone from Eastern onto the next highest team, spoiling any competitiveness for 2nd place.

The ammo.....I don't know about, me personally, I would be upset if that's what I won out of the prizes, but that's me.

That's not how it works - you pick from the list those things you are interested in.  We don't assign gifts to winners.  So, as long as you don't pick it, you won't get it.

Oh, good luck with the ammo.
 
Getting that into Switzerland,,,,,,,,, might be a bit of a problem.........

Personally, I'd take ammo above most anything we currently have on the prize table! lol (Can't ever have too much, but surely can have too little.) :)
 
And, alas, I didn't think about those fellows who are across ponds (who are probably eye-rolling at gun owners everywhere at the moment.) They probably WOULD have some trouble getting their hands on firearm related items.
 
Instead I thought about Cabela's/Bass Pro Shop gift cards, but again... Probably none in Switzerland.
 
So how about I put $50 on the table, to American residents only. 'Cuz you know, "shipping" and all. ;)

Punchy

OK, I am so new at this, but...... I will ask the silly question..... sorry.....
 
Are the donated gifts rated, or a worked out value?
And who get's to pick what from the list?? from where??
 
highest points for challenge??
Best PPD wins best prizes??
Best team??
  
I read the entire thread for last year, but did not see anything about this process.
I have donated, plus have more in the next couple of days, so would like to see everything go to those who can benefit/use those items.

Apologies if this is not clear - those of us who have been around for a while probably take the prize distribution procedure for granted The order people pick a prize is determined by a random drawing of all qualifying participants in the contest.  It is not based on performance or winning (other than meeting the minimum PPD to qualify) so as not to put those with less resources at an unfair disadvantage.  Once that order has been established, people pick prizes in that order or if there is nothing that interests/benefits them they can pass to the next person on the list.  Thus people theoretically end up with a prize that they can put to good use.

thanks for clarifying
i participated last year but was not chosen, so i was unsure how it worked

Well, on the stats side of things, the Stanford stats server certainly has been a DRAG today - LONG LONG download times that should be near only 30 seconds at the most . . . So, the only errors I've seen on the stats side of things have been related to timeouts and flat out non-connects.
 
Just for the FYI and all that

Here's the temporary hourly history listing for the folks I've added from the signups before the 20th.

Feel free to look around , but I'm afraid it's not very exciting as I collect the raw numbers and leave it to Troy to make them pretty and end-user friendly. *laughs* Tho, I'm picking up little tricks from him each time we go out on this grand adventure.

No problem. Always glad to share the data

I'm having issues with my HTPC allowing one of my 980s to keep going, every core 21 it gets it freaks out and stops trying.
Windows 10 with latest nvidia drivers. Anyone else having an issue on 10?

Thanks.
I'm ordering a hybrid kit for one of them tomorrow and once it's here they will be in the same system again and hopefully be problem free.

Scarlet-Tech - Feel free to check my stats and do the 24 hr averages off that as I pull each hourly update directly from Stanford and plug those numbers into the spreadsheet. Should be a pure average.

Will look. I am monitoring everything closely, since I won't be home while the pc runs for 30+ days straight.

I finally broke down and bought a couple more Noctua NF-F12 fans for the video board loop and managed to squeeze them in. It was a bit of a pain because I had to remove the drive cage to access the screws and tighten them down but I didn't have to do as much to get it done as I had originally thought. There is a lot more airflow through that lower radiator now. I might try some Folding today to see how much it improved my cooling. I have been ordering 4-pin fan splitter cables for my case fans and H220 fans and all this time the Noctua fans have had them included. I have boxes with Y-splitters from Noctua all over the place and now I have a surplus.
Doh! [repeated facepalm]

Looks nicer than mine,
I have my ups on top of mine.
 

Hybrid kit ordered.
The 980ti kit is on sale right now if you need one.
$20 off and a $20 mail in rebate .
