A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED DURING THE MARCH EVENT!!!!!
Howdy All! This thread is for discussion of the contest, and status updates!
The Rosetta Team holds events at various times throughout the year to help forward science along a bit quicker and to give us a boost in the Standings.
We'll also be racing our old nemesis UK BOINC Team to 15th Place. They've just taken our #3 spot in the RAC standings, and I think we'll be taking that back thank you very much.

Event Goals
Our ultimate goal as a team is to reach 15th Place in the Total Points Standings. This event and the event goals will be instrumental in getting us there.
The Event Goals this year are threefold:
1. To reach 300,000 in team RAC. ($100 Gift Certificate)
2. To reach 15th Place in total points. ($100 Gift Certificate)
3. To beat UK BOINC Team to 15th Place. ($100 Gift Certificate)
As each of these goals are reached, the corresponding bonus prize will be unlocked and added to the prize pool!
Yep, the goals are pretty lofty, but if there's one thing I've learned about these Events, it's to never underestimate the members of overclockers.com!!!
There is only one condition! That is that our RAC does not drop below it's initial level on 18-Feb-11.
