up to you...don't you WANT to be ahead???

I was testing the limits of the challenge with that one ... see how many days it would let me have.

The staff has been too busy rolling out new projects to deal with minor issues like a handicapping system for challenges.

I joined those recent ones, not being sure what they were for. The minimum time for a heat would be a warm, a 2 day race.

Hey D, it dont stop here. Try this thread:

Results are the number of work units processed by the team. The run time is a total of all CPU hours that your team makes. Points are, simply put, a representation of the two stats combined and the degree of participation your resources have to offer.

The points stat is actually a much better for racing here. The relative difference between projects is better than results for cross project racing. For results races to work, all involved would have to shift one project, right now that is DDDT. This can be good, but it can cause a dog pile effect that would bring a quick end to results biased raced.

Runtime races are really kind of fun time races. The bias here is in membership. If you are a large team, you will tend to do better. In this case, humanity is the bias. But don’t write this style off too quickly. As many say only results count, in these races stress that you do count.

What you see when some races are started, is there are all three race types. These are "all-round" competitions that allow exposition better the true team potential across the board, while providing a tool to prevent un-due biasing.
