For many years, The Overclock.net Team Competition was the main event for serious and competitive folders who wanted to test their overclocking and folding skills. At one point, the event had over 100 folders on over 20 teams all folding close to 24/7. It was a staple event that ran all year, every day, and every month. It used to be an event dominated by who spent the most money, or who had the top PPD cards folding in a Category, but that's a thing of the past! You can be competitive with ANY ELIGIBLE HARDWARE IN THIS EVENT! In our test runs, a GTX 960 dominated the overall event, and not to brag, but it was mine! (Yes, I rigged this event for me to win - NOT!) The old event fell apart for various reasons, and we've picked up the pieces, started a new stats website from scratch, came up with some new rules for the event, and after a ton of work, the event will officially launch on August 1st!
A special thanks to:
Now is the time to get your hardware ready, get your teams formed, find your teammates to join your team, and get in on this competitive folding fun!
Teams need to be setup and in the stats tracking system by July 31st to have the best shot at being competitive in this event. The event rules and details can be found in The ETF Manual. Be sure to read this manual carefully and follow the event rules so you do not penalize your team. Also, the event has it's own section on the forum found here which houses the manual and team threads.
For the first month, we're going to be giving away some special prizes to the winning team, category winners, and a few randomly drawn prizes for participants.
