Team Leagues for 2024

[UBT - Timbo]

Hi all

I have been able to set up the Leagues for 2024 which will feature the following 26 teams (carried over from the 2023 season), based on the total FB points scored as shown below and relevant as of today (and which I doubt will change much in the next 2 weeks but if they do, then I will amend the League accordingly ).

Code: Select all

9 teams in League 1
*1 	The Scottish Boinc Team		958
*2 	Planet 3DNow!			809
*3 	L'Alliance Francophone		491
*4 	SETI.USA			444
*5 	Rechenkraft.net			420
*6 	BOINC@AUSTRALIA			329
*7 	SETI.Germany			316
*8 	Ukraine				298
*9 	Republic Czech National Team	274

9 teams in League 2
*10 	BOINC.Italy			178
*11 	Russia Team			142
*12 	UK BOINC Team			139
*13 	LITOMYSL Boinc Team Czech Republic	107
*14 	AMD Users			101
*15 	H.P.C.N.Swiss			80
*16 	Crunching@EVGA			60
*17 	TSC! Russia			57
*18 	meisterkuehler.de Team		50

8 teams in League 3
*19 	Canada				44
*20 	The IT Team			33
*21 	Crystal Dream			31
*22 	Keep The Fire Alive!		25
*23 	Hardware Canucks		17
*24 	BOINC Synergy			12
*25 	BOINC.BE			8
*26 	The Final Front Ear		7

This now means that EVERY team will score FB points as the Formula One scoring system gives points for the first 10 positions and with 9 teams in Leagues 1 and 2 and 8 in League 3, *every* team can earn FB points during both the Marathon and Sprint events.

If any NEW teams want to apply then they will go into League 3.

It also means that if the Sprints go ahead, then each League could be "Sprinting" on *different* projects, which should then reduce the pressure and upload/download bandwidth demands on projects to be able to supply enough tasks for all 26 teams.

It might also be possible to perform promotions and/or relegations from each league during the season - maybe at the mid-season break? However the website did not allow this in 2023 so it remains to be seen if it is possible for 2024.

Hi Tim,

will you make some more leagues for members? Based on recent activities, two of them could be enough. Unless you want to exclude 'fighting for points' fun from that contest too

Anyway, the next season promises to be even more dynamic and fun. Promotions and relegations are also an exciting feature but should be done between seasons, I think. If we could get more new teams then the scheme '1-out 2-in' could be implemented to have 10 teams in top leagues for 2025.

Looking forward for the next year challenges

Best wishes!

P.S. In the mean time I will continue to supply Ukrainian Army and refugees with laptops and computers and to use BOINC for testing them.

Hi

Thanks for your input.

I am actually limited by what Sebastien has already programmed and coded the website to do, so I have no control over adding or removing any of the existing structure.

For the 2023 season, there was a function to promote or relegate teams between leagues...but it did not work and I was unable to contact Sebastien to get him to fix this.

But for 2024, the coding does work, and hence I made the changes as shown in the original post above. But whether teams can be promoted/relegated DURING the season remains to be seen.

And it would certainly be good to have greater dynamic movement between the leagues, depending on the support each team gave (or did not give).

Anyway, the next season promises to be even more dynamic and fun. Promotions and relegations are also an exciting feature but should be done between seasons, I think. If we could get more new teams then the scheme '1-out 2-in' could be implemented to have 10 teams in top leagues for 2025.

Looking forward for the next year challenges

Best wishes!

Well done for supporting the brave Ukrainians against the orcs ! It worries me so much about the slow reduction in aid being supplied to Ukraine, especially from US Republicans and from Hungary veto-ing the EU support. Russia needs to be held to account for invading a sovereign country and killing their civilians. And yes the same can be said for the Israel/Hamas situation in Gaza !

Sadly, some "so called leaders" are unwilling to compromise and make peaceful negotiations and instead they just want to spread destruction and death to others.
