Rules:
1. Contestants must join TeamAnandtech TeAm DF and create/change DF user name to your AT nick prefaced by ATWE. (eg: ATWE Insidious)
2. Once you start, you must continue folding for TeAm DF until race finish to be elibible for Prizes. (72 hours of zero production = forfeit)
3. Speed limits enforced: Any 6 hour stat (as reported by Statsman) within a 24 hour period may not exceed the sum of the remaining 3 (6 hour) periods reported within any contiguious 24 hours. If a dump is too large, a speeding ticket will be issued and the folds from the offending (6 hour) period will be omitted from your total score (and we will laugh at you)
4. Consolation Prize(s): Awarded by random drawing (that means I put a piece of paper in a bowl with each of your names on one piece and draw out a winner for (each) consolation Prize(s) amoung all race finishers. You must have folded at least 75 days and be active at race's end to be eligible for the consolation Prize(s).
5. We are hoping that others will wish to donate their "White Elephants" to be awarded as consolation Prizes. If you donate a Prize, you will be awarded a 20,000 fold bonus to your starting value. (The last chance to donate is day 15 of the race: December 12, 2002). In the event this 20K makes a difference in finishing Prize awards, the bonus will not be awarded until the consolation winner of your donation receives the Prize you pledged)
Statsman will be used to identify 'speeders'
DistributedFolding will be used to report total scores. (plus bonus, minus speeding tickets and starting folds of course)
6. Prizes will be claimed by PM'ing me your shipping address and method of choice and I will send it to you (U-Pay shipping!)
7. In the event Statsman craps out for a period or two (or other scoring difficulties arise) common sense will prevail (ie: we will discuss it and I will provide a resolution)
8. Race ends on (edit: February) 26, 2003 at the time of the closest update (distributedfolding.org) to 12:00 EST.

Oh Oh, time for rule modifications: (edited: 11-30-02)
1. a period of 6 hours with less than 75,000 will not be considered a dump or be penalized for the purposes of speeding tickets.
2. a 6-hour period containing less than (edit) 2,500 folds will be considered "zero production" (for the 72 hour of zero production = forfeit rule, ONLY)
(explanations may be found in the 11-30-02 "DF Daily" thread.
