You may or not be aware that SETI@Netherlands team has set up "The Kings International Gauntlet 2007", which will run from 8pm on 4th November, until 8pm on 18th November 2007 - a full fortnight of crunching competition.
More info is here: http://forum.seti.nl/showpost.php?p=463625&postcount=84
The idea is to get many different teams to "register" for this and so to compete against each other (on an unofficial basis), so that one "Gauntlet team" can be crowned as the "Gauntlet 2007" champions.
You can see the "test" page for the stats here: http://server.by014.net/~weezepoe/seti/gauntlet.php
And you can see the "test" page for the participants list here: http://server.by014.net/~weezepoe/seti/participants.php
The project chosen for this is SETI@home and UK BOINC Team is registered as a challenger.
Through our forum,
(here: http://forum.ukboincteam.com/viewtopic. ... =0&postord
er=asc&highlight= )
we have asked for UK BOINC Team members (who are crunching for SETI) to join in - so far, we have 19 members (out of a total of over 950 members who have joined our SETI team).
Hence this email.
We're asking YOU to join in the fun and to contribute towards our cause...!
How do you do that?
It's VERY easy - just reply to this email, including your SETI account name, that you DO WISH to be included and I will register your SETI account as part of our "Gauntlet team".
What are the "pro's and con's"??
Upside: The more UBT members we get, crunching for SETI@home, over the two weeks, the better our chances of winning.
Downside: None - your own individual crunching efforts are not sacrificed in ANY way - all that happens is that each "Gauntlet member" credits awarded during the two-week "Gauntlet" period are totalled together and then ranked, against other teams similar efforts.
You must hurry, as the CLOSING DATE for membership registration is 8pm on 28th October 2007....i.e. NEXT Sunday....!
So, please let me know that you DO want to be included....
Hopefully, if we can muster say 100 or 200 members to this competition, then we should have a great team assembled and we have a great chance of winning!!
