Folding Race?

Post by **dicecca112** » Sun Apr 09, 2006 1:09 pm

Was thinking on a another forum I am on, from time to time they do folding races.

They work like this

You split the existing team into 2 teams, with two team captains.

All participants fold for there name, there is no changing or anything like that, but each teams points are combined to work toward a goal, say first to 1million points, or whatever.

The two teams are originally drafted by the captains, but some changes are made so that PPD is balanced.

Is this something our folding team would be interested in?

Sounds cool!

slightly hard for those of us who have both intel and AMD rigs folding for them.... but a good idea nonetheless!

if that is the case, and we choose that type, then you just choose a side

first we have to get a significant amount of interest in this before we chose what type of race it'll be

It's on the test bench now, but if we want to get an AMD v Intel battle I'll get a few systems up and running for either side... Intel 955/965 and the AMD FX60/4800+ are ready to go if we wanted to do a shootout for a week to see which side has the most power here on the LR Folding team ;)

I'm thinking about make another post, look for recruits. I mean 4 v 4 is fine by me, if i can balance the PPDs

Best I can balance PPD is infiniterelevance and Dragon_Cooler for a total of 1593ppd

and then everyone else comes to 1506. If something like that happens, its simple, we just subtract 87ppd x the length of the contest to even things out.
