2012-01-04 16:24 NTR and team tournamentsAs the step to remove the team tournaments at all from the NTR is getting discussed quite controversially, I'd like to take the chance and start a public discussion on this topic. Read more...
2012-01-03 17:46 NTR 2012 without team tournaments - UpdateWith the latest update to the NTR algorithm (v2.8) we're going to test this year how the rankings develop without the impact of team tournaments. There have been a bunch on controverse discussions on their influence and we'll check this out now. Keep in mind that this can easily be reverted as no results will get lost. We'll keep an eye on the rankings and would like to get feedback from the community no this. There are a couple of things which could improve the NTR, but we're going to stick to small iterations like before. Update: I just reverted the change due to the overwhelming feedback. Everbody can see the difference between the two variants in his NTR profile as the "team tournament"-less placement is marked as the previous placement. I'll start a discussion on how to solve this issue.
2011-10-03 11:46 Defective CPU cooler replacedWith the server coming down yesterday again, we ordered a hardware check and the service technican found a defective CPU cooler. So the machine was shutting down cause it simply was getting too hot. The cooler is replaced now and hopefully the server issues are gone now.

2011-09-08 14:22 NTR computation skippedDue to the server's crash on Tuesday evening the NTR computation couldn't be executed. Please be patient and wait for next week.
2011-09-07 14:34 Downtime of the webpageWe're suffering from a couple of technical issues over the last days. The server has a problem with its power management, so that it's shutting itself down uncontrolled and doesn't wake up again afterwards. As we cannot restart it ourself in some cases, we have to wait for a technican from the datacenter. Crash 1 was Monday night. Server got restarted Tuesday morning. Crash 2 was Tuesday afternoon. The second crash was hiding behind a destroyed fibre optics of our datacenter during construction works. The repair lasted into the night so that we discovered the server being down again not before today. A technican restarted the server asap. We'll now try to discover the source of the probelms together with the technicans. This can take some time as it can either be a software or a hardware issue. If we have to suffer from more crashes, we'll do our best to get the page back online as soon as possible. We're also cutted from our e-mails, so for any status updates you have to check our Facebook page or watch our Twitter stream (see top right for links).
