WCG race from December 01, 00:00 UTC to December 26, 00:00 UTC* 23:59:59 UTC
*) or rather, to December 25, 23:59 UTC
As far as I understand, WCG calculates team challenge stats (in WCG points) based on user stats (in BOINC credits, multiplied by 7) snapshot taken at 00:00 UTC. But they do not update various web pages which show WCG points immediately after the calculation,but in 12 hour intervals. Hence, 00:00 UTC stats typically show up at 12:00 UTC. but about 1 hour later.
Last year's WCG X-mas race thread: "WCG Christmas, errr, December Race(s) 2017"
The stats:
edit 3: stats updates take a while to show up, but it's less than 12 hours
edit 4, December 24: The race ends at 23:59:59 UTC on the end date, not at 00:00:00 UTC on the end date.
The yearly WCG Christmas Race is listed - https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=9225
Thanks, I suppose it is 00:00 UTC start and end times?
I don't think the TeAm is registered for the WCG Christmas race yet. I think @petrusbroder would need to sign us up if there is interest.
Sorry I can't because I am not able to log in. Some how my password is not working, and I can not reach the old mail box. I am working on this ...
Just as I wrote the above post my log-in succeeded.
We are now registered for the WCG Christmas race.
... and in the "The first1th Christmas Challenge" (because of the funny name)
The WCG Christmas challenge should have started by now, but we are dependent on WCG for stats, and that only happens every.....24 hours? 12 hours? Anyway, I'm holding my bunkers until I see some points here:
