The New BEATtheBOX Nomination thread.

Bollocks · 20th October 2004, 8:52 PM

The aim of this Giveaway is to give the dedicated folders within the Overclockers Australia Folding@home team a chance to win a complete and ready to go folding machine. These folding machines have been named FBOX's and are the result of the generosity of the members of the Folding team who have donated the parts to build them.

To participate in the BEATtheBOX giveaway you will need to nominate yourself in the BEATtheBOX thread in the Forums and try to beat the FBOX's output over a 2 week period. If a participant manages between 50% to 75% of the FBOX's output for the week they will receive 10 points and between 75% and 100% they will receive 15 points for the week. There will be 20 points available if you beat the FBOX's output for the week and a bonus 10 points if you beat the FBOX both weeks.

For each 10 points accumulated a participant will receive one number in the draw for the FBOX at the end of the 2 weeks. A maximum of 50 points is available therefore a maximum of 5 numbers in the draw.

#Only one entry per forum member will be allowed. You only have to nominate once.

#You will need to have accumulated at least 5000 points before coming eligible to enter the Giveaway.

#The winner must agree to pay for the cost of postage of the FBOX, payable by donation to the FFF.

#Members of Subteams can participate but the points required to beat the box will be multiplied by the number of members nominated. For example subteam ugocau may have 5 members nominated, therefore they need 5 x 380ppw = 1900 points before all the ugocau members qualify for the draw.

#Each "Beat the Box" giveaway will run for two weeks with one FBOX up for grabs, there will be a weeks break in between each giveaway.

#You don't need to have a computer that is faster than the FBOX to compete. That is why the 50% and 75% levels are there. Also you can use more the one computer to beat the box. Basically Fold as normal with what you have got, if you need to fold a bit harder to reach the 100% mark to give yourself a better chance of winning the prize you know what to do.

#All numbers will be generated by a sequence number generator and the winning numbers will be selected by the random number generator at the same site.

#The winner must pledge to run the FBOX 24/7. The reason being that the donations were made so that the Folding cause and the Overclockers Australia Folding team would benefit from everyone pooling there unused parts to make up these FBOX's. Therefore we need a commitment from the winner that this will happen, if you cannot commit to this then don't enter. It is not a "win a free computer" competition.

#If for some reason the winner of a FBOX cant continue to fold 24/7 or wants to stop folding all together then the FBOX must be returned to the OCAU Folding team for redistribution. Like fxr91 did see this thread.

#When a member is lucky enough to win a FBOX their name is removed from the list of BEATtheBOX nominees.

#If you fail to produce any points for the 2 week duration of any BtB Giveaway you will be removed from the nomination list. Or if you fail to produce any points in the week between the giveaway you will also be removed.

#Once removed for failing to produce any points you may not renominate for three BEATtheBOX rounds.

#To claim the prize the winner must contact me through the forums PM system and agree to the terms above and to make arrangements for postage within one week of the draw or the FBOX will be redrawn.
