Formula BOINC 2025

[UBT - Timbo]

Hi all

I've just uploaded to the FB website the dates of the forthcoming 2025 season of FB Sprints, of which there are 24, just like 2024.

https://www.formula-boinc.org/sprints.p ... eam&race=3

But please note that I have NOT set the start/end times yet, as these have yet to be announced (although they are likely to be the same as the corresponding F1 race in 2024).

So *all* the times are currently set to 00:00 UTC, but this will change once the official timings are released (although some times have been released but in some cases, it has not been noted if these are local times or UTC times )

regards
Tim

Hi all

I've just populated the membership database for both Team and Member Leagues for 2025.

This just means all currently registered Teams and Members are now signed up for 2025.

HOWEVER:

I have created a 4th League for both Teams and Members and every Team and every Member has been entered into the relevant League 4.

Teams for 2025:

Members for 2025:

https://www.formula-boinc.org/users.py? ... nding=user

I hope to then set up a "Qualifying Sprint" early in 2025, and those Teams and Members who actually take part in this Qualification Sprint, will then be re-assigned to League 1, 2 or 3, depending on their actual 2024 performances.

And those that do NOT qualify, (in the above event) MAY be promoted to a higher league, once they show a willing commitment to actually take part.

So, in theory, there may be some Teams and some Members who score zero BOINC credits (in the Qualification Sprint event) and they will stay in League 4. Teams and Members can contact me at any time AFTER the Qualification Sprint, to put their case to be considered for promotion to a higher League.

Newly registered Teams and Members for 2025 will also be admitted to League 4, until they start earning credits and then they will be admitted to League 3 for the 2025 season (and with possible promotion during the year, depending on their 2025 performance).

I would hope to repeat the Promotion/Demotion event about mid-way through the Sprints, so as to try and keep a "level playing field" so that Teams and Members with similar RACs are all in the same League.

Tim
