    So why did they go by points and Not WU work units as that it the point of the system completing work ? seems like  stefan927 won with 6907 work units done what a great job

    WUs are the jobs, points are a measure of how demanding are those jobs. So for example you can have a WU that takes 1hour on your CPU and another one that takes 3h because it needs more computation. The 3h one will be worth more points.

    So all in all points are a more accurate measure of how much computational ressources were given by a certain user.
