Seems silly to even update that stat if only the last update makes a determination on points awarded.

My explanation was oversimplified. In practice, the result for each update is combined with previous updates, and that result is actually what shows up in the 10-110 range in the rankings. I don't know if its an average exactly that they take from all updates, but all updates are combined in some way.

Growth is more complicated, as it takes into consideration last year's performance in the race. This is best demonstrated with an example for a single update.
If this is the 4th score update of the competition, the growth score is calculated based off of all teams score from the 4th update LAST year. The team who beats their 4th update from last year by the biggest margin is assigned 110 points, the team who does the worst compared to last year's 4th update is assigned 10 points. The rest of the teams are assigned points within that range, according to how close they are to the best team.
To further clarify, only points compared to last year matter in growth. The number of clients, people, or slots make no difference - unless it helps improve your actual point total on each update compared to last year.

By that explanation, only the last update would matter when determining the winner correct? Or are the growth winners calculated for every update, then averaged at the end of the competition?

That's true, but the point of having a running total is so teams know where they stand, and how they compare to other teams.

 

No point only being told at the end you had 60% conversion, while everyone else had 75% - if you know now, there's time to work on it.

Being realistic, OCN and EVGA are so race oriented, that it would be unlikely that any fair system would keep them out of at least a strong ranking in the Chimp Challenge.

I think we're pretty conversion-oriented too. It's harder to score high on this category having more folders on the team but I think we're doing a good job with campaigning for conversion as this is believed to be our strong point in the first place. There are just a few people on the team folding on their own names with a high PPD throttling our conversion points, in my opinion at least. The more people fold on their own names, the more detrimental it is for us in the CCP race as it is hard to recover conversion-wise with a high team total.

The two biggest producers not yet switched both haven't been online in about a month either - my PMs aren't getting anywhere in their case, and I don't think I have their email addresses. :(

In Windows 7 you go to: Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> Edit Plan Settings (on your current power savings plan) and change Turn off the display : to NEVER.
This has fixed the issue for some, but not for all. If this doesn't work, you may have to roll back your drivers, or try the latest beta drivers.

GPU GTX 460's x3

I am using 266.55 drivers per Zodac's recommendation and I already have my screen savor turned off and my system to never enter hibernation mode.

Thank you for the input. thumb.gif

Easy 1M PPD that we could really use just from the top few producers today. I'm still trying to recruit some of my buddies outside of OCN, but because we're competing against Diablo 3, it's not going very well.

Point out how bugged D3 is, and how much more fun it'll be post-CC, when the big bugs are gone. :P
