WCG Christmas Race 2014: Dec 4-24
Every year in December the World Community Grid team from Rechenkraft.net hosts a Christmas Race for a fun holiday challenge between WCG teams. This year it was created by the team called Special: Off-Topic. The challenge is run through the WCG grid website and through their own stat updates so bunkering is permitted and does happen. Our team has no official stance on bunkering so is up to you to decide whether or not to do it. If you do not know what bunkering is, please read this thread. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1829159 This year's race is a Points Challenge meaning that a team's score will be the total points from the teams completed work units, just as you would expect.
Team [H] has participated in the race since 2008 and has always had great support from the DC subforum.
Here is the challenge link for the 2014 Challenge. https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/challenge/viewTeamChallenge.do?challengeId=6972 Keep in mind that personal points are updated twice a day but team points and challenge points are only updated once a day.

I hope that [H]orde members (if we are still calling them that) will consider participating, even if its only a couple cores. BOINC can run well on even old hardware or even ARM devices. There will be some tips, and configuration information in the post below soon. Thanks to everyone who participates! Post below if you are planning on helping out, or if you have any questions.
