Query about SETI scoring

[Terminat.]

When you're part of a team (as we are of overclockers.com) are all of our total scores added up and then divided together to give the average score; or are all our average scores just added up to give a combined average score?

I ask this because I noticed that teams are ranked by their average scores, and mine seems quite low. I started only recently, with a score of 59 and an average socre of 6 (what??) and yet with einstein@home I have a total score of 219 and an average of 43.

It would be much appreciated if someone could shed some light on this :)

the RAC (recent Average Credit) is a front weighted average of your credit. For a team this is figured out by the amount of credit earned that day by members of a team (unlike classic, if a person joins a team his total doesn't move, only any future credit).
For a user, it is figured by the credit you earned and then as time goes by the weight of that credit drops (the exact formula is available on the BOINC site). the recent outages (causing days with 0 credits) really seems to screw with the RAC. if you look on the team stats page, overclockers.com earned about 130,000 credits today, but only have a RAC of about 20,000


sorry for the long winded explanation. hope that helps.

Ewl2 is right :) Here's another way you could look at it !!! I always look at the RAC as the strength or the power of an individual or a team . People with higher RACs "Usually" have higher tendencies to moving fast towards higher current credit. Hope that helps you some ;Terminat !!!! :)

Cool, wasn't sure about the RAC, so I guess my world RAC of 1,967 isn't so bad.
