5 more days to go, only one team still does not have any runtime listed in the challenge score board. Other teams are seemingly trying to caatch up with TPU, which is a good thing I presume. Let's keep on crunching!

I shall make sure that the Team Prize draws are done ASAP. TPU will not be included in the drawings, neither any team that has less than a day of runtime in the challenge stats.

The following system will be used for the drawing of each of the two prizes:

-------------------------------------------------
Person 1: creates a list of all qualified participants usernames. This list is sent to person 2.

Person 2: Using the list of names, person 2 will assign each entrant a unique number. A list of the usernames with the unique numbers is sent back to Person 1. The list of just the random numbers is sent to Member 3.

Person 3: has a list of just numbers. They use Random.Org or whatever random system to select which number wins a given prize. The list of winning numbers and the associated prize is then sent back to Member 1.

Person 1: Using the lists, person 1 ‘decodes’ the winning numbers into the winning usernames and posts the results.

The lists are sent as Private Messages through the forum. This establishes an electronic record of everything while also preventing alterations of lists after the drawing.

When the winning usernames are posted by person 1, person 2 can verify that the number belongs to the correct username and person 3 verifies that the number was actually pulled as a winner.
-------------------------------------------------

The system makes sure that there is no bias or other favoritism at play when winners are drawn. Winners are drawn based on a random number instead of team names- where a possibility exists to redraw if that person doesn't like who won, draw a friend, draw themselves, pass on new members, or skip doing a random drawing all together.

A BIG Shoutout to the Coralville Crunchers!

Only 3 members, 71+ days and a 9th place in the Challenge.

Another HUGE Shoutout to all the competitors, for a great showing for CEP2!

Thanks to all. These WU's are not the easiest things to run and I am glad that everyone here and on the other teams made an effort to do so!

When we are all pulling for points it can easily be forgotten that what we are doing, collectively, is going to change the world. Maybe not tomorrow but, much sooner than was possible, just a short few years ago.

Cheers!

I will be anouncing the Team Prize winners now!

Winner €15: Greece
Winner €10: World Community Grid for all Countries

Team Captains, please respond via the e-mail adres in my profile to claim the prizes before Sunday 20 october 0:00 UTC, else a redraw will follow.

The winning teams are beyound the response deadline, so time to redraw I suppose.

Please post in this thread if there is still any interest in the prizes. If I do not see any reactions here before Friday @ 0:00 UTC the Team Prize draw will be cancelled.
