World Top 20

Post by UBT - Mikee »

Missed this a couple of days ago but we're now 20th in the world.

Even though TSBT got 25th today and will overtake us in a couple of months we should be able to hold this as a couple of teams above us are within reach.

Up another World place today - up to 19th.

We may get another in 3 weeks or so.

TSBT are now just 71 days behind us and closing rapidly!

Be afraid, be very afraid!! :twisted:

Or better still just accept it as yet another thread in lifes rich tapestry!  :D

You seem to accepting the inevitable but we certainly aren't taking anything for granted! Still, a gap of 72.4million seems manageable enough.

Anyway it doesn't matter so long as we all do our best! (and our best is better than yours!)

Missed this yesterday. We went up another World place and are now at 18th.

There are no threats other than Digital Recon who are seriously on a mission and are currently 75th.

It looks like the 'Canada' are the next target currently at 15th but dropping, but it will take the best part of 5 months to get there at current rates.

Just having a look around the stats and I noticed that 'Digital Recon' have disappeared! It's too late for me to have nosey to find out what happened, but whatever it was it's pretty serious!

It looks like there was a mass exit on 29th and 30th November ?

Back up to 18th place as Canada succumb two months early and ESL should be taken sometime this week. (Still closing on TSBT at 0.5 ~ 1 million a day! Should be interesting in a two/three months if this carries on :D)

I noticed earlier this week that both ourselves and TSBT are due to hit 1.5 billion in around 90 days. Should be fun seeing who hits it first! :-)

We missed this again!

On 23rd February we went up to 17th in the World.

We're due to go up another place by overtaking BOINC.Italy in a couple of weeks, only to lose it again to BOINC@MIXI a few days later - at current rates.

One thing I didn't think I'd ever see but were due to overtake both "BOINCStats" and "Boinc Synergy" in a few months.

That happened a bit quicker than expected!

We're now 16th (for a couple of weeks!)

http://boincstats.com/stats/boinc_team_ ... pr=bo&st=0

Oh - and look who's 15th!

Both us and TSBT are due to hit 1.5 billion around 4th May - who's gonna get there first?

Almost certainly UBT. :(

I can't be bothered staying up to see what happens overnight but, as TSBT are just  186K in front of UBT and conceding ground at the rate of roughly 90K per hour, it seems all but inevitable that, come dawn, you will have wrestled world #15 from us and reclaimed the UK Boinc crown.

So, time to grit my teeth into my best Gordy Broon rictus, and, on behalf of TSBT, to congratulate you all on winning round two of what I hope will be a fight both long and friendly. Well done UBT.

On behalf of the UK BOINC Team, thank you for your kind words.
It`s been a tough fight back, and personally, at one point, a fight that I thought we were not going to win.

I still don`t know what made the difference, it just seemed to happened.

Best wishes to you and all your team mates.

Rick.

Thanks mega

Like Rick said, round 2 came to a conclusion much quicker than we were expecting, so here's to a good clean & friendly fight in round 3
