Hi all

I have have already been in contact with the Project Admin at the randomly selected project for Sprint #21.

I am advised that their server will be able to cope with the expected high number of task downloads once the Sprint starts.

Please note:
Once Sprint #21 is over, there is a break from 3rd November until Sprint #22 starts on 21st November, and then there are 3 consecutive weekends of Sprints, after which, this will mark the end of the Sprint Challenges for 2024.

regards
Tim

Hi all

The chosen project admin confirmed that they can support the forthcoming Sprint :-)

Therefore, the randomly selected project for Sprint #21 is SRBase

Once again, thanks to Reb @ SRBase, there should be lots of tasks available, so I'm sure we'll do our best to support this project :-)

Hi all

re: Sprint #19 - NumberFIelds

I had a PM from one of the admins at NumberFields as follows:
Hi Tim,

Just wanted to thank you (and the crunchers) regarding the recent FB sprint. The project completed WUs at over twice the usual rate, which is very nice to see.
So, the combined efforts from FB DOUBLED the throughput of all the other NumberFields crunchers over the course of the long weekend.

A VERY WELL DONE is therefore extended to all participants of the 19th Sprint. :-)

regards
Tim

Hi all

There are now just 3 Sprints left for this season.

And the next one starts this week !

I have attempted to make contact with the Project Admin at the randomly selected project for Sprint #22.

I await confirmation that their server will be able to cope with the expected high number of task downloads once the Sprint starts.

regards
Tim
