An interesting idea - Formula Boinc

Basically points are awarded for the top teams in each project and then totalled. It rewards co-ordination within a team over brute output.

Any enthusiasm for this here?

sounds interesting, but doesn't say how to join, have we missed the boat for this year?

I understand the principle but I have no idea how

We're already joined as we have a team in the stats pages.

All we have to do is get into the top ten of one of the points scoring projects and we'll appear on the leaderboard.

so which project are we closest to getting into the top 10?

is it top ten by rac, or overall points, or points per month?

Well if ABC@H is in the list then we might move up a bit,

Merlyn/Steve of Boinc has just joined us again & dumped 60k today.

No doubt a mistake as the stats have gone completely mad,

yesterday I had 1 cpid, this morning 2 & now I've got 3, can't wait till tomorrow!

Is by points dumped since the start of the year.

I would suggest using one of the smaller projects that still have a reliable and steady tream of work. Leiden or maybe even QMC.

Currently our Leiden team is 4 people strong and I'm 2nd.

We now have 3 points from our 6th place in BBC CPDN (which I thought was closed but ssshhhh!

)

100,000 credits would get us into the 2008 top 10 in Leiden. Just 350,000 would place us third!
