Basically what @Favebook said, I like to post new spreadsheets so the data is available and everyone could theoretically check the work to know nothing dodgy is going on. Also, at the end of the event the master file will be made available in a read only format, once again for the sake of transparency.
So, some quick math for folks.
If you're only active for 20 days out of the 45'ish available for the event, you need to do 25k points in those 20 days.
If you're active for 40 days of the event, you need to do 12.5k points per day in those 40 days.
If you're active for all 45 days of the event, you only need to do about 11k per day.
To put that in perspective…the lame old dell i5 2 core laptop is putting out 12.5k points per day.
So, even lame CPU only folding on a single crap machine should be able to hit the mark, generally getting a few WU done each day with a couple longer ones that take a day.
I'm actually a CPU only folder on various old hardware, so I'm happy for this and feel the PPD/activity requirement works quite well here.
That being said, to hit the top 200 like I could flirt with in prior years, this year…I'd have to quadruple my output from the 5 systems I run f@h on…which I don't see happening. So, I'll just be in the background crunching the WU's that your GPUs won't ever get while you all get the glory.
