I was totally in the running until Saturday! Went out and (finally, after 2-yrs of ignoring my want) picked up a new gpu, 660. Bumped my PPD up from 8-10k to 35-40k - was not expecting that, but certainly welcomed!

Updated the stat site I am using - the extreme overclocking site seems to not be properly calculating Points for a whole week.

Also, slight update to the rules - I want to reward users who a folding "regularly". So, of the eligible Folders, you will have to have submitted points over the past 5-7 days at various times. Not just one huge upload and you were done. This is all tracked on the stats site.

For next week - probably change it up a bit to reward lower members - say under 40,000 total points for next week.
