We have been invited to join the Gauntlet. The invitation was left in our SETIathome recruitment thread. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu//forum_t ... rue#659898 I have no idea what it entails (yet) but here is the link for more info http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_th ... p?id=42975

Have a look and if you are interested in taking part, please post a message here saying so.

Our project of the month will be one of the smaller ones, so I'll shot a few computer cycles this way.

Count me in. By the time it starts, I should have another couple of systems added to my farm

And I just received a mail from John T. Bradley, VE7JTB. He's in as is Lunja! The Gauntlet team is shaping up nicely!!

Can someone provide a little more info on this? Every time I've tried the links Seti has been down (surprise, surprise...).

Here's an informative post with lots of links

http://www.boincteams.com/viewtopic.php?t=249

Also, the SETI forums are back up. They have a regularly scheduled weekly outage while they back everything up.

I know SETI goes down for backups, it just seems every single time I try to access their site they're down for one reason or another. I stopped crunching there quite some time ago as they were having continual database and hardware issues.

Checking the links the organizers indicate they're not accepting any more teams and I don't see Canada listed. However, if we're actually in I'll tag along and crunch SETI for a bit. This will give me the excuse to do something about my pathetic showing at SETI (ranked #196,133 - ouch!).

@pawly

Hi guys! You can count me in too. The only thing I need to know is do I have to register somewhere or are you going to do this for us? Let me know what's happening as soon as you get some news. Thanks! JP

Registration was supposed to be open until the 18th. It is now closed. I didn't register right away simply because I wanted to see if there was interest on our team first. CRAP!! Well, I posted my displeasure on the SETI thread (nicely of course, I'm a Canuck after all! lol) and maybe they will let us in. Who knows? Either way we can use this thread to organize ourselves for the next Competition or...........

... we could challenge another team.

To bad. A well next time. If you decide to challenge another team, count me in me in.
I'm allways game. .

We still have this challenge going on:

But we are winning it by a landslide right now.

To Pawly or any moderator or Admin on this board.

Go in an edit the very first post in this message. You need to take the hard work out of this for SETI@NETHERLANDS. You cannot expect them to read all your messages and find all your team members that are in the competition!

So get your team members to register in this message. They need to register and post their SETI@home user name and account number.

Then an admin needs to find all those names and account numbers and kep editing the first message, adding the registered members to the list!

Just click reply to this post and copy everything you see below the next line, and paste it into post No1 in this message.

Good luck in the Gauntlet!

Competition Explaination

The King's International Gauntlet 2007

This competition is being run and hosted by SETI@NETHERLANDS so many thanks to the crew for organising this competition.

The King's International Gauntlet 2007

Since a while there is an idea to organise a SETI@home BOINC Gauntlet between various international teams. The last Gauntlet we organised was a SETI@home Classic Gauntlet in 2005. This idea layed low for a while because we couldn't find a programmer to make the statistics script needed for this Gauntlet. But S@NL teammember FilmFreak has taken the bull by its horns and build a new script.
So now we are ready to kick off the very first SETI@home BOINC Gauntlet!

We've called this Gauntlet "The King's International Gauntlet 2007".

What does a Gauntlet mean?

A Gauntlet is a temporary subteam competition. The origins of those Gauntlets lies with the Ars Technica Lambchop team, but they've been held international a few times already.
It works like this: Subteams are made of about 20-30 crunchers. From the start of the Gauntlet there is a daily update of the statistics of these subteams. The team that has the best production after a certain period of time, wins the Gauntlet.

This new Gauntlet will start at Sunday the 4th of november 2007 at 20:00 hrs GMT+1 and will end at Sunday the 18th of november 2007 at 20:00 hr GMT+1.

The following teams are putting one or more Gauntletteams together:

* SETI@Netherlands
* OverclockersUK
* Planet 3DNow
* UK BOINC Team
* SETI.Germany
* Icewolves
* Team Anandtech
* Dutch Power Cows
* BOINC.BE
* OcUK
* BOINC Synergy
* PADDY'S IN SPACE
* Ireland
* BOINC@Poland
* Team England (BOINC)
* Canada

We hope that more will follow.
You can view these teams on our Gauntlet statistic page.
While the Gauntlet is running, there is a daily update at 20:00 hr (GMT+1) of the progress on the site of FilmFreak, the member of SETI@Netherlands who created the statsscript. You can find these stats on this page.

We have started a thread on our international forum where all the competitors can discuss this Gauntlet. Members of OcUK and Seti.Germany have already registered on our forum to chat with us about the Gauntlet.
During this Gauntlet it will not be necessary to register on our forum to post in the International forum.
Other teams also started threads about the Gauntlet on their forums. Click on the links in the list above to open these threads.

We wish every competitor good luck in this Gauntlet and that the best may win.

Extra, the results of the last Gauntlet:
Team results
Individual results

Hey there Johnney!

They have closed registration for the Gauntlet, unfortunately. So we are in a holding pattern here. If we end up in the Gauntlet then I will comply with the thread structure you outlined.

Thanks for your interest in us , my friend!

Hello Folks,

Our recruitment drive began immediately, however I did not sign our team up right away as I wanted to make sure we had enough crunchers to be competitive. I sent out mails and created a thread at OhC!. But then registration was closed early and I had to explain to our members what had happened. I did try to get the team entered via the email address supplied in the Gauntlet FAQ section and was told there is no more room this time.

We would still like to participate in this First Round but Team Canada understands that we "missed the boat" this time and we will be ready for action when you rerun the Gauntlet in the future. We also understand the fear that the word "Canada" strikes in the hearts of opponents when they find out we are coming! lol JK

Good luck to all teams entered! Canada will be watching and waiting!
