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.
• Sprint : 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 points FB
• 2nd = 18 points FB
• 3rd = 15 points FB
• 4th = 12 points FB
• 5th = 10 points FB
• 6th = 8 points FB
• 7th = 6 points FB
• 8th = 4 points FB
• 9th = 2 points FB
• 10th = 1 point FB

The ranking will be established on a yearly basis and updated daily. From 2008 onwards, the FB ranking will be calculated on the basis of credits accrued during the year.So each team gets a new chance to enter the FB hall of fame.

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.
