What is Formula Boinc ?

FormulaBOINC (FB) is a competition for BOINC teams. It is based on the principle of the Formula 1 championship. Starting in 2017, the competition is composed of 2 groups of events:

• Marathons: each project is considered as a "Grand-Prix". The 10 best teams on each project get a fixed number of FB points.
• Sprints: 20 events of 3-days throughout the year, according to the schedule of the Formula 1 championship. Each sprint will involve only one project. The chosen project will only be known 24 hours before the start of the sprint. The top 10 teams on each sprint are given a fixed number of FB points.

The teams selected for the FB are divided into three divisions of 25 teams. The distribution of teams depends on the number of active members (RAC>100) on each project.

Formula Boinc points:

• 1st = 25 FB points
• 2nd = 18 FB points
• 3rd = 15 FB points
• 4th = 12 FB points
• 5th = 10 FB points
• 6th = 8 FB points
• 7th = 6 FB points
• 8th = 4 FB points
• 9th = 2 FB points
• 10th = 1 FB points

The final goal of the Formula Boinc Trophy, more than simply being a new stats site with its winner [at the end of the year], is to promote competition between teams on all projects and not on particularly crediting ones.

Each project having the same weight in this trophy, no project is more or less interesting than another.

This should also help small or new projects at a time when more and more projects are joining the Boinc platform.
