Hey Ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time of the year where the leaves are falling, and temps have dropped. That also means it's time for the TZC!! This is a contest we try to have each year, that was created by Zerran2001 in 2009. Contest start date is November 27th. Sign-up ends the 26th. Teams are made up by time zones, and also those that are in other time zones are divided up to try and make it a fairly even contest. All teams will fold until ALL teams have crossed the 100 million point goal. I will provide links below to sign up and other info. We hope you will join us, fold with your teammates, and also have some fun. There is usually some nice prizes to be given out at the end. These are donated by our generous contestants, and sometimes EVGA has sweetened the pot. Signups are happening NOW. You will need to give an estimate of how much you will be able to fold, so it's a good idea to fold a few days to determine what points per day [PPD] will be for the contest. Hope to see you there. Thanks!

    Signed up! Thanks for DM, appreciate the heads up.
    I see the Points/PPD Estimate field on the G-Doc is little funky (no commas) so if helps put me down for estimated PPD of 750.000-1,000,000 if this matters as do not was to mess up. This is my first official EVGA challenge Folding challenge, so very excited, have 9 more posts before can DM so sorry for wall of text but new to forums as well. :)
