WELL DONE to everyone who participated.

OK people - at midnight tonight, the 3rd Weekend Crunch starts.
Get your PC's online and crunching through some WCG WU's and let's see what effect we can have.
We're already up 40 places in the last month and 15 places in the last week - so, we're now at position 136 with 80,000 credits to our name.
The next 22 teams are crunching at a far less rate than "UBT" - so we can potentially improve our ranking by at least 22 positions in the next month or two.
But we need at least 20,000 credits to do that. So let's see if can make a blooming big "whole" in that over this weekend.
Good Luck !
Updated: 11th May
Just in case you missed the announcement on our Forum, our 3rd Weekend Crunch is taking place on the weekend of 27th-28th May.
As voted for in our Forum, the chosen project will be World Community Grid, (WCG) with the back-up projects of Rosetta and Ralph.
Our hopes are high that we can rise up the World standings - we've moved up about 20 places in the least couple of weeks, so hopefully after the 3rd Crunch, we should be much further up the rankings.
All you then have to do (on/before 27th May), is to make sure you are already a member of the WCG project.
Then set all your other projects to "No new work" as well as "suspending" them from actually doing any crunching during the week-end.
Thirdly, set the chosen project as the only one able to download new work.
Finally, on/after 28th May, you can switch each of the other projects back to "Allow new work" and "Resume".
In future months, we'll be featuring other projects.
If Team members would like to vote for a project to feature in a Crunch - please see the Team forum.
