Hi,

The Scottish Boinc Team set the above challenge for FMAH which started a day ago,

We seem to be getting erroneous results

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/challenge/team/chat/416

As you will see from the results and chat there are some weird things happening
1. Several teams and their members are missing from the results despite having been busy and being listed in the participating teams. This includes TSBT as issuers of the challenge.
2. Three teams and their members show up in the stats despite not being listed as participating. None of the 3 have ever taken part in a team challenge before.

FMAH was down when the challenge started but are back up and Boincstats and other sites are reporting Mondays results correctly enough.
A possible source of the problem is that this was originally planned as a SIMAP challenge but you kindly changed it to FMAH.

We'd be very grateful for anything you could do to sort this: Don't want the Merlyn's Memorial series to end in a shambles.

Thanks,

Willie

The problem was discovered in the challenge chat: team id's between SIMAP and Malaria do not match of course. I should have removed or updated all the teams that were already participating.

This can't be repaired. Even if I change the team id's now, the start credit can never be recovered.

That's a shame. Unfortunately the challenge is totally meaningless as it is currently running.

Would it be possible to correct the team ids then to reset the statistics, and start again? Possibly from midnight tonight to run for a week? Alternatively if that is too dificult you could scrap it altogether and we could set up another one.

Thanks for anything you can do.

Willie

The best thing would be to just create new challenge. That would ensure that everything is correct.

Okay we'll set another one.
Are you able to delete, or at least stop, this one? I'm afraid it's a bit of a pointless embarassment.

Willie

It's gone.

Thank you.

Willie
