Even better example is me. My HD5750 was folding at ~5500 - 5700 ppd. I am now in the top 20 for ppd, although lately I have been at ~60k ppd. We will have to se how the 20Gb ram cap will affect that though.

I would strongly suggest a 2 tiered CC.

First, the CC can return to it's roots of pure folding power, and this will be the CC winner.

Second, a similar thing to what happened last year as a secondary goal with a new secondary prize.
- This can be more of an "improvement" or year over year contest.


So onto what happened last year... use the avg again, but introduce a small multiplier based on the ranking/performance last year. That should mitigate things like the NCIX effect that other teams no doubt complained about

Need to define the purpose of the Chimps Challenge & go from there. Is it to promote folding & bring new folders into the "program?" Is it a pure points competition? Different teams will have different perceptions and expectations.

I think this 100% correct.

I've been pondering what the rules could be......Without defining what stoanee suggests , it's an intractable problem from what I see....

Hmmmm.

Agreed.

Who hosts the chimp challenge?

[stoanee]

Well, if it all falls apart I think we should DEFINITELY have a competition with NCIX. How about the right to display the "Ammolite Beaver?"

[chrisk]

It won't fall apart. It is going ahead, and we are the defending champs :)

...And we should be.

When it comes to sheer care/user , we win.
