The final update of our challenge stats will be done on Nov 27th, 03:00 UTC.
Just to be sure, that the last midnight export on the grid is done.

So on Nov 27th, 03.00 UTC we will compare and calculate the data of the first midnight export with the last midnight export, just to be sure, that only the points calculated in the challenge time will be for the final results!

My checks on previously challenges tests results in the same points on the grid challenge sites!
So I am really relaxed, that our stats will have the same points im comparison to the wcg challenge site! :D

Differences on the daylie output points in comparison to the challenge site on the grid doesn't matter for the final results. This will happen, when people changes a team during a day. Those are not (and could not) included in the hourly update. Those will be "corrected" after the following midnight update during the challenge.

Keep in mind, that the final results on the grids challenge site will be presented in the noon update (Nov 27th, 1:00 pm UTC). Our final results will be presented at 3.00 am UTC on Nov 27th.

Hope this helps, too!

I am a little confused.

I expected the challenge to start on the 16th as indicated, which seems to be how the stats on the SETI.Germany site are working, but the numbers on the WCG challenge page are still stuck at zero.

Is there a discrepancy as to when the challenge is starting (ie beginning of the 16th v the end of the 16th)?

I waited to upload my cached work so that it would be validated during the 16th, and couldn't hold some work any longer, but am now wondering if I let it go too early.

That's a relief. I was starting to worry I might need some "special medication" to resolve the issue.

I see it's all updated now. I wasn't aware of the variation in timing, hence the confusion. Thanks folks. :)

I just want to you to clarify the end date.
