For the record, there is a substantial amount of work still in progress holding up other people's already completed work. This seems to be being held by some high core-count machines that only recently registered. It's become known that Team Anand Tech uses a tactic of collecting as much work as possible at the beginning of a sprint with no intention of completing it but rather just denying other teams the opportunity of earning the credit, and then simply aborting it after the sprint is over. For regular volunteers of this project this is probably more of a minor inconvenience since you'll get your work units back for re-issue. It is however dirty play and disrespectful of both the project and the intent of the Formula Boinc competition.

A baseless allegation. All of our team members have a high regard for the science that is done via our contributions, and have spent countless hours and huge sums of money to further causes that interest us, with no interest in remuneration like some others have. My guess would be that some competitors have simply neglected to re-enable networking, either by habit or forgetfulness. Ascribing malice so prematurely is not really a good look, I hope you might reconsider.

It's the middle of the night where the project is located. It may be several hours before anyone on the project is aware of the problem.
