At any given time, there are many team challenges to compete in on WCG.
----------------------------------------Sadly, they are basically the same. Here's a suggestion for a different WCG challenge: This is patterned after a HAM [amateur radio] Field Day Standby: the Fox Hunt [hidden transmitter hunts], redfish tag contest and a scavenger hunt. A WU be tagged as the Fox that the competing teams were after. . . . possibly only 1 in 1K WU's or a reasonable, but challenging number. After a team got a tagged WU in one project, they would center their resources on another project. . . This could go on for quite a while before a team got a tagged WU in each of the 9 WCG projects. [presented as a brainstorming exercise, seeking more input, or completely different concepts]  |

Instead of the standard crunchathons on points, run time or results returned, this would be a team contest to get the specially defined WU's in each project.. . . it could be about getting them all, or how many could be gotten, in say, a three day weekend contest. I believe a WCG cruncher that was radically different could get more participation from teams from the wider world of BOINC. |
