11/7/2021 Its that time of year again - get ready to fire up those rigs for the 2021 Time Zone Challenge! I've had major life changes this year so hopefully I'm able to stay on top of things. - In 2009 Zerran2001 created the inaugural Time Zone Challenge Folding contest for EVGA's folding team.
- This year we hope to continue the tradition of good-natured fun and trash-talking among our team in a contest that is better than ever!
- Sign ups for the 2021 Time Zone Challenge are now open and run through Sunday December 26th at 9 AM Eastern Time - any late sign ups are at the discretion of stats master drougnor
- The 2021 Time Zone Challenge will begin on Monday December 27th at 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
- Prize donations are currently being accepted. Prizes are a fun way to encourage and reward contest participants or pass on old or unused hardware to reward a fellow folder. Members of EVGA's folding team have a history of generous donations to folding contests - let’s keep that tradition alive!
- Thanks once again to drougnor the stats PIMP for providing us with detailed hourly stats updates
- Thanks to marketing master notfordman for spreading the word and getting people to sign up for the contest
Edit by Cool GTX New Date to be Set & line through Old Date/ Time

I'll sign up in a few days once I shake all the cobwebs out of my folding system (Down to a single box again, no worries, tho) and get my daily average accurate. Also, it's a pleasure to be pushing the numbers for the contest, as usual.

I've got about 3 years of cobwebs to shake out. getting back into the swing tho 
That’s one the things I love about these contests - it’s great to see the old timers…uh, i mean veteran folders come out and fold a few WUs with us!

That's one way to do it Ducrider.  It's better to give an accurate estimate so the teams can be somewhat even. Nothing wrong with adding other hardware to your PPD. [that you own]. @ACES, awesome to see you in it again this year!!

My average is pretty close right now. We will have to see what the new hardware will add. My average is 10.7m as of this morning. So my estimate was about 700,000 low.

Your new Kingpin may do 4.5 million PPD. I'm not sure how or where they list the Kingpin. They list 2 different ones on the 2080TI, #5, and #10. I'm thinking it's a rev. A. [#5] The list is fairly close but not gospel. https://folding.lar.systems/gpu_ppd/overall_ranks That 10.7 almost 11 million PPD you have been churning out, is quite a strong effort. Climbing those ranks. nice!

Kingpin will be for some gaming and benching. It may show an up in the contest if my team needs a extra push.

I've just clawed my way back up to the top 50 again. Then saw you've fired your rig up again. So much for passing you this week. LOL

I was actually just checking in on the official EVGA folding site, and it appears to be broken, this was just in time! Good excuse to finally finish some upgrades. I'll commit to 2mil per day with work and other stuff, maybe more after upgrade!

I didn't know what my PPD was when I submitted the contest form. I've got it now, 1.6M PPD. Would've sent a PM but I'm apparently not eligible for PMs yet.
