Competition: The TBCS Folding@Home Team

And in those 4 weeks, we have produced a total of 4,367,098 points and burned through 5039 work units. No matter who wins the mouse and keyboard, as a team, we're doing great :)

Ok so here are the results of the folding element of this competition. I don't claim to be perfect so please, feel free to check them to make sure I've awarded you any qualifying entries.

I'm going to leave this here for a total of 7 days to give everyone time to check that they're on the list if they should be, and that they've been awarded any entries they're entitled to. This is your only chance to point out any errors or omissions. After Midnight at the end of Sunday 5th of June (GMT), these results will be locked down and the draw will then be arranged for the eSports by Thermaltake Mouse and headset.

Good luck everyone and thanks - you stepped up and made this competition fun!

I'd officially like to withdraw from the competition. I have a sweet mouse and a headset (which I don't use often :whistler:) already. I'd hate to win them only to potentially not use them.

Good luck to everyone else.:)

That's a very nice attitude mDust - thanks for helping us anyway :)

I just wish my GPU hadn't died and the system been down. Bleh. It'll be back up once I get things back together and running for us once eVGA get things hurried the heck up.

Just noticed this thread!

I usually fold for another team, but I'll throw 5 units your way this week on a GPU to get myself a couple of draw entries :D

Competition is over...

Sorry man, fuganater is correct - the last qualifying week ended on 28th May....

Simple mistake - I got the date wrong. D'oh! :D

Good luck to all those involved nonetheless :)

Doh, I forgot to restart one of my folding clients after playing some games and missed the 100k mark, I've only had one system CPU folding the past few days lol silly me... Good luck everybody, may the best computer win. :lick:

Hey Blibbax, if you have points to share, competition or no, we'd be more than happy to have a client or two folding for us :)

I'm the founder of the other team I fold for, so looks kinda bad if I share the love too much :P

Last couple of days to correct me guys - if no-one notifies me of any errors, the results as posted will become official and no longer subject to correction by the end of this weekend.....

Final Official Results of the Qualification Phase of this competition.

And a special mention goes to mDust who has voluntarily removed himself from the running, even though he earned all 7 possible entries on the grounds that he already has a quality mouse and headset and would rather see the prizes go to someone who could actually use them!!!

I'll now go and pester our Head Admin OvRiDe and see if I can get him to do another of his live webstream prize draws.... (I have a face made for Radio heh)

Whoop Whoop! I psyched that I got all 7 possible points! Hopefully I'll have some luck!

Sweet!

is it just me or is the drawing been delayed

Bump

I guess their mouse and headphone broke..... im hanging in there cause my headphones are trash. Maybe a month after the contest is over once everyone stops checking they will announce it. heh.

why no drawing yet ?

I talked to SOC. There have been things going on personally for the Mods/Admins so the drawing is delayed until they get time to do it.

This has been one hell of a delay. I hope everyone is ok.

hmmm i wonder what problem they are having to cause a month delay. i do hope everything is ok with all the admin members and every member

I've been holding out hoping that someone in the US can do some kind of a live drawing for the prize in this competition, but I accept that I've held out too long and offer my apologies for that. If nothing is worked out in the next few days, I'll find some way to do a drawing which can be independently verified so there are no calls of "foul" - we have to be careful not to even appear as if our draws are in any way less than legitimate, and if we can't do something live via video (which we've done in the past) I'll try to find something web-based where I don't have control over anything more than putting in the qualifying entries.

Skype?

While I appreciate your desire to run an honest ship I think you might not be considering the "effect" it has when the average Joe is left waiting for a month.

This could be a fun little social experiment, I wonder how many hits this thread had after the contest ended and of those hits how many people passively looked at the contest and just shrugged it off as bogus or something... I'm not saying it is bogus, I'm just curious what would be the greater concern, the portion of people who are going to call you a liar and a thief no matter what you do, or the portion who aren't going to call you anything, say anything to you or even look at you all that hard before they slap a "label" on you and move on.

Mark me down as an apathetic non-labeler. As somebody who has let things slip myself, I understand it can happen. Given the stakes, I don't personally consider it a big deal. If this was a contest in July when temps were over 100 and it kept me folding during the month for a chance to win a Sandy Bridge chip it might be a different story.

Ok im game to help you guys...how do i get this set up?

lol nvm, looks like im a dime short and a dollar late :P

omg the thread got necro'ed before the winner was even announced? haha

I will be doing this drawing when we get the BitFenix Facebook drawing. Hopefully if everything works out it will be very soon.

Sorry for the delays.. its just been a crazy summer.

And the winner is...


Technochicken!


My apologies there was a technical difficulty and the live broadcast did not record to Ustream.

A big Thank You to all the contestants and Thermaltake for your support of F@H in general and of course to the TBCS Folding team. Together we can do great things!

Congrats!

Gratz

Congratz!

Awesome! Thanks Thermaltake and TBCS!
