Just a friendly reminder! If you've signed up, GET SOME WUs FOLDED ASAP so I can find you in the team's data!
 
And for new signups, making sure that you put your name in EXACTLY as you type it in the F@H app is MOST beneficial to me. Takes a lot of unneeded work out of getting you tracked for the contests.
 
Thanks!

I'm in.
 
Curious, I have a card that was supposed to be here on Friday, but Newegg did not get it sent out today, so I may not get it until sometime Saturday if at all on the weekend, but if I get the card on Saturday, it's ok to start folding with it even though I only put in the points that I know I can turn out for sure, but it might be more then that if the card gets here on Saturday.

If you fold more points than you predicted, some may call you a sandbagger, unless you're on the EST where you will be considered a hero and parades and parties will be thrown in your honor.
Whatever happens in the the challenge, it will be forgotten by Christmas at the latest, except the science that hopefully goes on forever.
 
I just tested on Linux and my points will likely average 100k more than I put in for. Should I run on Windows? Don't think so.

Well if you look at last years https://sites.google.com/site/timezonechallenge/individual-stats over 98% of us are not sandbaggers then
I was thinking that something is off as we report PPD and our PPD can change from Hour to Hour or Project to Project.
Not sure the Formula is really set correct for all of us to have a -##.##%
 
But Man Shanester44 is a sandbagger with 269.62% PerfectFit with 941.52% the Top Sandbagger for last year
 
Over the last few days my PPD was as low as 700K and as high as 1200K so hard to see what in the end we are going to see.

Crystal Clear.
 
But I am not going to Stop my Current Folding and wait till Friday Night to start back up

Dusting out the hardware tonight, switching over to folding afterwards for a running start!

Yes add the card!

So can I add the card in or not?

Yes Add New Or Old Hardware.
 
Their is no real winner in this Event, we are all winners and some get some prizes for their effort.
This is not a 24 Hour Get it Done Event but will last up to 2 Weeks until the end.

Yes add the card!

More Power ......
 
The only requirement is to be the owner of any hardware you use for the event

How do I update my estimated folding points? I originally entered 2,000,000, but my friend needed his 1070 back, so now my estimated PPD is 1,450,000 (2 GTX 1080's).

Well One of the Rules is you Must Fold on your Own Personal Hardware other than that PM the OP.
From https://sites.google.com/site/timezonechallenge/rules
Eligible Hardware:

• Any hardware you fold on for the contest must be personally owned by you. 
• Adding additional hardware that you own (especially if you will fold on it full time) is both permitted and encouraged.

 

 
Just some Information is all.
 Contest Participation

• You must fold under your own folding name for team 111065.
• All folders are expected to fully participate in the contest for its entire duration. 
  • If you cannot commit to folding for the entire contest you should not sign up for the contest.
• You are only allowed to fold under your own folding name.
• You may not pause, stop or otherwise disrupt your normal flow of work units to gain an advantage.

 
 
Last year another Thread was Created to change your estimated folding points.

man! i love that AJ banner! as for your adjustment i am sure one of the mods will adjust you since you posted your correction.
 
EDIT: testing...

Not so sure, I think this one fits better

where's everyone at? Looks empty this year compared to last year.

Indeed, 166 Active users last year to only 55 users this year.
Must Be Out Mining.
 
PS Glad to See you Bill
