For the last several years over at EVGA we have been doing a Time Zone Challenge contest where we sign up with our current times zones we live in and have a little contest to see who's the best.
We had an idea to open this contest to the whole world.
You would still fold for your current team but you would be teamed up with guy/gals for all different teams that live in your time zone.
This would be the first contest that teams would be mixed up competing aging each other.
If you wanted to do prizes you could do them within your own team but this would just be a promotion to get more folders.
Overview: The contest will start with anyone interesting in participating will sign up online with their folding name and the time zone in which they live. I think we have open sign ups for a week maybe two.
Once all teams are set the contest will begin at a Pre determined date and time. No need to change passkeys team names or numbers all you have to do if fold like normal. I live in Colorado so I'll be folding for Mountain Time Zone, I may be folding with Kendrak or Grandpa so for the first time we get to be teammates BUT were still gaining points for our respective teams. I think this will bring some teams closer. Now I know Mountain Time zone doesn't have the population base that the East or West coast has so I'll be trying to recruit friends and othe people in my area to start folding. The contest will last as long as we decide as a community. If a team decides to have prizes associated with the contest, this can also bring in new members. Our members usually donate gear they aren't using or steam codes etc... We also creat badges with our time zone for a sense of pride.
Rules: that's the great thing this is a fun contest to promote unity and get new folders so the only real rule is that you fold for the Time Zone you live in.
You guys are the first team I've talked to, because of your long standing dedication to folding I wanted to see if there was interest and get ideas.
We started a thread here if you like to comment http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1623508
Thanks for your time.
