The Overclockers.com Folding@home team is now running their "Winter Blaze" folding contest in order overtake our rivals Overclockers.au. For the next month(maybe longer) Team32 invites you to come fold with us for a chance to win weekly prizes. Check out our latest folding video with all the highlights Here.
What is Folding@home? How do I get started? - We have put together a rather extensive FAQ Here To answer most of your questions and help you get started.
I have some questions that I can't find answers to... - Ask away, we pride ourselves on being a very warm positive and motivated community dedicated to helping others. We even have a mentor program thread Here where you can post and we'll get you setup with some Pro's that will take you under their wing and help you get rolling.
How do I Signup for the contest?- Signup in This Thread
You may join the contest at any time but you must post your current total score earned for T32. This information will be used to determine how many points you have folded during the contest. All stats will be based off of Extreme Stats, Use the name search on the left to find yourself and find your current total points folded for T32. If you are a new member, it may take a few hours for your name to show up in the folding stats.
How to participate- Fold for Team 32 under the name you posted in the Signup Thread.
How to earn contest entrys- Fold 1,000 points under your name posted in the signup thread during a drawing period and receive 1 contest entry for drawing held at the end of that drawing period. Example(23,000 points will net you 23 contest entrys.)
How are prizes drawn?- Prizes are drawn weekly, All contest entries will be reset to 0 at the end of each drawing period (week). Your Contest entries do not carry over to the next week (drawing period)with the exception of the final drawing which, all entries earned during the entire contest will be counted, Contest entries will need to be earned each week if you want a shot at every prize.

- EUEs: Excessive EUEs will not be tolerated. Violations of this rule will be dealt with on a case by case basis at the sole discretion of the contest administration, possibly resulting in dismissal from the contest if that user does not stop the excessive EUEs. This rule does not imply that a user who has a machine EUE a few times will be dismissed, such a situation will likely go unnoticed. The term excessive is not being defined here and will be left up to the contest admin to determine what is excessive. The bottom line, if a user is contacted about EUEs and they fix the issue, there will be no issue.
- Server Blocking: Blocking of Stanford Server IP addresses will not be tolerated. Violations of this rule will be dealt with on a case by case basis at the sole discretion of the contest administration, possibly resulting in dismissal from the contest.
The rules of this contest are subject to change based upon feedback of the participants, and at the sole discretion of the Administration.
This contest is designed to be fair and fun, If it is not, please provide feedback. The contest administrator (yours truly) may be more flexible than you think.
The members of this Team are honest, respectable people. I don't believe there will be any issue with rule violations. However, the consequences for someone caught intentionally trying to cheat need to be, and have been, clearly stated.

NOW LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!! AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL OUR CONTESTANTS!
