Don't ConfusedBW and Alex have to be on the same team or is that not an issue anymore?

Looks good to me. Of course, you put yourself on the team with the biggest output. Talk about cheating:p

J/k! Thanks for your work on getting this worked out.

Ehm, you're missing two accounts, my v2 and v3. :)
Both is 2.2 wu/day, and was in the previous setup...

It's the v3.03 you've listed as 20wu/day.

As already stated, none of them should be on the same group...

Rattledagger,

I sure wish you would have noticed that the names were not listed in that thread and said something about it before I did all of the sorting. Let's see. The big account "Rattledagger v3.03 is fine right where it is. We have had a report earlier in this thread that Ken with 5.9 (Team Anandtech@CU Boulder ??? Ken_g6) may be completely out of action. The two accounts could take his place if he in fact is DOA.

Why can't the two little accounts be on the same team?

Well, if nukefarmer haven't got a strong love/hate-relationship there isn't any problem to move him to C. :)

The point with putting both v2 and v3 into the race was to "race against myself", but I can put both on one team if it's a problem.

I guess I'm starting to wear down. Sorry. :(

If Ken_g6 turns out to be completely down the easiest solution would be to just add both the V2 and the V3 accounts to Team "C". If Ken_g6 turns out to be OK then I could reshuffle. I have an idea....let me run it by Soni first. Be back later.

-edit- I see what you are recommending. If Ken_g6 is out. Then we put V2 on Team "A". Switch NukeFarmer to Team "C" and also place V3 on Team "C"...............so you can have your desire that the two little accounts are not on the same team. Did I get that part right?

I still want to check something out with Soni.
____________________________________________

This is the question I put to Soni:

Question: Is it possible to add someone to a team after the race is underway? Is it possible to switch someone from one team to another after the race is underway.

If these things can be done without too much difficulty it will help solve some outstanding issues that have come up and other conditions that may develop in the next day or two.

Let me know ASAP.

Smokeball,

When I was running things, it was not a problem to add people in and take them out of a race.

The only problem is that people start to complain if you shuffle the teams too much after
the race is under way.

Doing it is actually easy.

Living with it is much harder.

EDIT: this is of course using Soni's wonderful, awesome, fantastic system.

Grant,

I worked Soni's program a little during the last race or the one before and I thought that could be done. Since it may be a while before Soni confirms this, let's accept that those type of changes can be done.

Therefore, I propose that we start the race ASAP with the current lineups as is. In the next day or two at the most we should hear from Ken_g6 whether he is in or out of the race.

(A) If Ken_g6 is out. Then we would put Rattledagger v2 on Team "A". Switch NukeFarmer to Team "C" and also place Rattledagger v3 on Team "C".

(B) If Ken_g6 is in. We could place Rattledagger v2 and Rattledagger v3 on whatever teams look like they could use the help. After all they are small accounts averaging 2.2 WUs @ day.

Unless there are further corrections, suggestions, or objections I will make that my recommendation to ConfusedBW

The floppy drives seem to be working OK tonight. :cool: I don't know what happened yesterday. Maybe the drive I used to write the KLinux image was going (it's older.)

So all's well. That's a good idea, Smokeball, and I might do it if I have to, but I think I'll check on a more permanent solution in another thread.

Thanks for putting up with my tribulations.

Hi all!

Wow, a lot happened since i went to bed last night :Q

I am entering the members to the teams as they are shown above in the first post, and they are pending changing due to whatever may happen with Ken_g6.

Slahr Dzhe, unfortunately myself and Smokeball have done a lot of work in organising these teams evenly, and the signups started over a week and a half ago, so unfortunately, however much we would love to have more people in the race, i'm afraid that the teams are very even and an addition will skew the numbers :(


I have set the race to start tomorrow, so the starting numbers should be pulled tonight :)
