The Scottish Boinc Team

:) Hello The Scottish Boinc Team,
:) Hello Friends from The Scottish Boinc Team.


Team SETI.Germany continues it's new invented challenge and invites all BOINC-Teams to participate in the 4.rd BOINC PENTATHLON, following the ideals of the ancient Pentathlon.

It will start May the 5th 2013 (00:00 UTC) and will end May the 18th 2013 (23:59 UTC).

Like in the ancient Greece, the Pentathlon will be held in 5 disciplines. That means within 14 days the participants will have to crunch 5 different projects, all of them for a period of 5 days. That said, you can easily see that some projects will have to be crunched at the same time.

Each team that would like to participate has to sigh up : http://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/anmeldung.php?&lang=en until April the 27. th 2013. Like in the last year the favourites in the different disciplines can be chosen by every team on their own. The project that gaines the most voices will be crunched.

A list of the projects that can be chosen from can be found here : http://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/25_en_Disciplines.html , but you can also suggest other projects. (But before suggesting other projects, please check if the project and/or their servers would be able to withstand the combined BOINC forces. We do not want to bring any project server down.)

More information can be found here : http://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/22_en_Welcome.html

NEW RULES 2013 :

1. All disciplines are now 5 days announced before the start (no more than 1 week)

2. A of the five disciplines is a marathon discipline. It is calculated over the entire pentathlon (or until no longer work units available). The scoring is the same with the other disciplines.


In the last year it was very exciting until the end.

Hi Friends of Scottish Boinc Team,

what is with you guys ? Are you all still in hibernation, because I hear nothing from you in our Forum ?

Hi SEARCHER,

We are still here just keeping busy in the real world. This looks like a fun comp, I will take a closer look tonight.

Hi, Mega - another scrap... we do this one every year or does it do us ?!!!

I'll vote for:
Rowing = Einstein (I can just about do this one) or Primegrid
Taekwondo = Constellation
Short Track Speed Skating = Go Fight Against Malaria
Weightlifting = NFS

All a mystery to me, but, tell me what to crunch, and when and count me in. As the flightless one states - a scraps a scrap.

Looks like a really well organised event, count me in!

Why it`s a Mystery alezevo1,

you can start here a Teamvoting what Projects your Team like to Crunch.

Then you need a Teamcaptain who Register your Team by this Event. I think it`s Megacruncher same last Year.

And you Need a lot of Fun and Joy for this Event.

This is all alezevo1.

Think i've got the handle on this....maybe

I'll vote for:
Rowing = Milkyway ( as all GPU's can do it ) or DistRTgen
Taekwondo = POGS or Constellation
Short Track Speed Skating = Go Fight Against Malaria
Weightlifting = NFS or Numberfields

Please just tell me the marathon won't be Seti or Rosetta, so tired of those two being chosen for every team challenge.

I presume we will register our interest ?
Will anyone take part other than the usual suspects ?

To Searcher, what can I say, I'm a bear of little brain

I've long since registered us. http://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/teams.php

If all the usual suspects, of whom there are quite a few, show up I'll be very pleased. If some unusual ones pitch up I'll be delighted.

:) Dear participants of the 4th PENTATHLON 2013,

But now: Good Bye, Au revoir, Auf Wiedersehen :
