I had posted earlier to the forum and the team joined in. I'm almost ready to start. The wcg site is experiencing technical difficulties right now though.

Yep all joined in https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=9589

Nope, afraid we don't qualify. We are associated with a company (EVGA).

1. Not to be a team affiliated with a company, association, foundation, government agency, administration, university, college or school.

I do not understand this?
EVGA gives our team Zero Support if you are talking about what is in the link below.
They would not even provide a Private Area on the Forums if you recall that we did ask for a year or two ago.

Three conditions must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for the THOR Challenge Pure:
1- Not to be a team affiliated with a company, association, foundation, government agency, administration, university, college or school.
2- Not to be a team rewarding the distributed computing of its volunteers financially.
3- Have at least participated in the first week of the THOR Challenge (September 09 to September 15).

But if so true then pointless to even have this event as most if not all teams have part of their names based on a Product or Company or Country.

Hope they let us in...kind of a dumb rule.

Their posts are confusing. The list of 58 accented teans to the Thor Pure challenge doesn't list us, but we are in the stats listing. I added a few cores on my main rig.

Captain: EVGA DC Captains
-Team eligible for the THOR Challenge Pure: NO
 
Why are we even in this Event then?
Done myself with them.

Sounds reasonable. Bit silly to have effectively 2 winners, 1 for regular contest and 1 for pure contest. I still want to participate in it. Be interesting if we can keep in the running for all the weeks we're eligible for.

Moved up to 15th place, but man is the gap somewhat large. Hope there aren't any bunkers skewing things at the final stretch.

Rules...do...not....compute....

Since we were in the top 20 teams, we've been invited back for the 2nd round (September 23rd - 29th)! 
Can the EVGA DC Captains please sign our team up?

Looks like we nailed the Zika project as it's done submitting tasks apart from some cleanup.
Good job everyone.

PG is my priority PrimeGrid's 2019 Challenge Series  Oktoberfest Challenge Sep 21 11:00:00 to Sep 26 11:00:00 (UTC)
So I will start up WCG on the 27th.

Personally, I'll probably run PG Oktoberfest (AP27) on GPU only, and then concurrently run WCG on CPUs.

If it is cool enough, running CPU and GPU at the same time gets to hot in the house and the Air runs nonstop 24x7
I do this in the Late Fall and Winter when I use my computers for heaters to heat the house

I will change over from TN-Grid to the THOR Challenge 2019 Y4-W2 09/23/2019 09/29/2019.
No point in my hosts running and not getting any TN-Grid Tasks.
