preparatory thread for the 13th Annual Holiday Season Folding@Home Race

Has the internal race always been during the entire month of December?


I believe last year I posted almost daily stats for the WCG competitions which went on throughout December. I realize that the Annual Holiday Season Folding@Home Race stats are on a whole other level, since it involves tracking individual users, not just teams. But I am offering assistance for when you are out in the wilderness. I will probably be traveling myself though during the last few days of December. Maybe I'll lug the necessary tools with me then.

Yes, the internal race has been during the entire month of December for the 12 past years. The reason for this was, at the very beginning, that we wanted to amass enough points to matter in the position of the TeAm.

Thanks for the offer. I intend tu take with me a computer with the necessary tools to do the stats ... but it is always very nice to have some one else to stand in. Let us wait and see until the beginning of December ... I am not leaving until December 12th ...

Without continuous stats (traveling stats keeper), perhaps a simpler race is in order. We choose a few teams to track, as benchmarks (some close to our production, and some ahead of us), and just keep track of these few teams, to see how we perform, as a whole, against these targets?

Other than the obvious teams that are ranked similarly to us, I'd like to see our output tracked against our pony pals from last year, and EVGA (which will keep us humble, I'm sure). And Ken will be happy to make another chart like last year, I'm sure, cough cough.

I like the idea. It is mostly a past-copy-job. The teams' race is not hard at all.

We need names and participants!
