Well at last it looks like its going to happen http://forum.seti.nl/showpost.php?p=463625&postcount=84
There is a post in the Team Cafe about this but may be its a good idea to keep specifics closed to the team members ?

I am up for a go on this so if Timbo is sorting out teams count me in!

Hi Mark,

I just got a PM from Mikee about this...so we'll use this thread as a "call to arms" for anyone interested in the TKIG 2007.

If you are interested in competing in this, then add your name here by replying with your SETI username (if different to your forum name) and SETI account number (if you know it).

UPDATED: The closing date for entries is: Sunday the 28th of October, 24:00 (GMT+1)

BTW: While I have registered a "main team", there is also a chance we can have "sub-teams" within the "main team" if we get enough "volunteers"....such as North vs South or East vs West, or any other choice we can all agree on...

I'm not sure if the main team "position" in the TKIG ranking will be affected if we have "sub-teams" or whether the "sub-teams" total is added to the "main team" to give an overall total. I'll find out more and report back.

The times when the Gauntlet will be running is:

The Kings International Gauntlet 2007 will start at Sunday the 4th of November at 20:00 (GMT+1) and will end at Sunday the 18th of November at 20:00 (GMT+1).

and more info is here

Hi Tim, thanks for the quick reply, my Boinc user name is UBT-Timby

I'm up for this too so count me in, if that's ok, I haven't crunched Seti for a long time.

Bu**er, looks like I'll miss out on this as I'm expecting to be back in my cage on the 9th October for about 6 week, still, I guess it's better to leave it to the big boys.

Gary.

That is a bit of a bu**er (hmmm butter) we could do with you.

Just had a look round for a description. Found this.

So it looks like we need 20-30 members. I think we can handle this but maybe we should post in the public section anyway. I'm not worried about a bit of competition from the others as it won't affect our SETI standing one iota.

Does the old "extra" from Simon still help ?

OK count me on too. Is it exclusively SETI or will other projects do as well?

RodEllery wrote:OK count me on too. Is it exclusively SETI or will other projects do as well?

I believe it is SETI only.

......

I've moved this topic to the (open) SETI section, coz to be honest, it's not going to make any difference whether 5 members join or 50...!

It also allows the admins of the TKIG2007 to see who has signed up....

regards

Tim

Could everyone who wants to participate leave their SETI account number, because its can be pretty hard to find an account with only a name.

Thanks in advance

S@NL - FilmFreak

PS. The gauntlet is indeed SETI-only.

Is this thing open to people like myself, with more modest RAC's, or is it only for the big guns ?

Joshrandom wrote:Is this thing open to people like myself, with more modest RAC's, or is it only for the big guns ?

James

It's for anyone and everyone....!

But it's primarily for teams of people, who want to associate themselves with a BOINC team, or even a sub-team of a BOINC team.

So, as UBT, we could have 4 (or more/less) sub-teams, representing say, North, South, East and West of say Oxford.....! Or sub teams representing the different counties of UK...

Each team or sub-team should comprise say 20-30 members....So, if more than 30 members of UBT want to join up, then we may have to have 2 sub teams...and if say more than 60 members sign up, then we'd need 3 sub teams.

Tim

Hi John,

I've already been in conversation with "Pierre" and "Robin" from SETI@NL about this and it's just a matter of time...

If you've registered via this thread (for instance) then there's nothing else needed to be done.

The "Gauntlet" stats pages are in "test phase" at present (as the Gauntlet challenge won't start for some time), to make sure everything is working OK....team members who registered with UBT for the Gauntlet *WILL* be added soon enough....you just need to be patient to allow the Gauntlet admins time to add various people to the different teams....

They have a lot of work to do, so your patience will be appreciated.

regards

Tim

sorted :thumbup:

You are all added to the stats TEST site.

Oh... That's not good is it?

Have I missed something here!

I know these are test stats, but are we supposed to be crunching SETI already? Will they reset the base figures on 4th Nov? How come I've got 54 credits when I haven't crunched SETI for ages?

Answers on a premium rate phone number to the BBC 'Dept of Dodgy Competitions', please!  :lol:  :lol:

A wu you returned on 02/10 validated 10 Oct 2007 23:32:55, thats where the 54 credits come from  :lol:
I assume everything starts from scratch at the beginning of the gauntlet (I am only doing odd bits until nearer the time anyway).

Certainty we will reset the base figures on 4th Nov.

You can take poison on it.

Thankyou XP-Freak, although I'd rather have a litre of

It's better for your health.

Because it'll be quite a hassle figuring out even subteams to get an exciting gauntlet, registration for TKIG 2007 will close Sunday October 28th, 24.00(GMT+1) instead of november 3rd, 20.00!

Edit by Timbo: Wrong month was used - was october, should be november, so have corrected this.

Hi Micky,

OK, you're IN...!

Feel free to throw as much at it as you can....the only chance we have of winning is if we consider this to be like one of our infamous "Crunches" and go at it "hammer and tong".....so a few days before the start (of the Gauntlet), set all your other projects to "no new work" and then let SETI take over 100%....!

Thanks , Il try a few on seti now to make sure every things ready.

Will just have to keep my fingers crossed for a top ten finish within the team then. lol.

I am quite curious where I can find all these sign ups. The gauntlet rules say you can sign up by emailing me or by leaving a reply here, but there are quite some participants (according to Timbo), which have done neither of these.

Could you tell me where I can find these sign ups? If I don't have any evidence of them signing up by the start of the gauntlet, they can't participate in the Gauntlet.

Hi,

The people who have agreed to join have sent me an email to ask to be included....after I sent an "invitation" to each of our SETI members asking them to join in.

If you want me to ask these people to instead email you, then that's fine, as long as you send me a NON-DISCLOSURE confirmation email to confirm that the email addresses will NOT be used for any other purpose.

Likewise, under UK Data Protection Laws, I cannot forward these emails to you, as I have agreed not to disclose members email addresses to anyone else.

regards,

Tim

Is it that the actual team members who wish to join us in the gauntlet, have to post their usernames/account numbers themselves.  :scratch:

Joshrandom wrote: Is it that the actual team members who wish to join us in the gauntlet, have to post their usernames/account numbers themselves.  :scratch:

Yes, that is right and should be the easy way.
As an alternative they can also send an email to FilmFreak.
Witch way they prefer to do it is their own choice.

We have to be able to see who actually joined.

Temujin wrote:Easy Tim

Seems not....maybe it's to prevent a team from just adding their highest scoring team members without their knowledge...!

I can understand it....but I would have thought that the Gauntlet admins would have a bit more trust....

But hey ho....a bit more work required on the admins side then......!

Joshrandom wrote:Is it that the actual team members who wish to join us in the gauntlet, have to post their usernames/account numbers themselves.  :scratch:

Well, the plain truth is that a lot of BOINC members don't feel the need to visit the forum, and hence I felt it necessary to ping them an email about it...

This has generated far more interest than just relying on the forum membership.

We'll sort something out, I'm sure.

They set up a few "Gauntlet" test pages and once the closing date has passed, I'm sure that they will then add all the participants....no point doing it more times than necessary...!
