Yeh, it is a bit confusing with 2 different scoring methods!

When WCG first started they only had the UD client which produced a set amount of points- lets call them 'WCG points' - this is what is used for the overall WCG stats to determine position.

Then years later WCG decided to allow Boinc users to be able to contribute as well - however Boinc produces a different number of points , and after testing decided on a conversion factor of 1 Boinc credit = 7 WCG points so that they could be included in the overall WCG stats.

Boinc of course has its own type of stats for comparison against other Boinc projects and DC rankings at places such as BoincStats or Free-DC which are totally seperate and independent from the overall WCG points stats.

So, as a Boinc team you can compare yourself against other teams in two seperate ways - overall WCG points and/or Boinc points.

We are unlikely to be able to take Easy News in the overall WCG stats because of the lead they have and sheer numbers of members, however as the majority of their members still use the UD client - we could get to #1 as the top Boinc team :thumbsup:
