It appears we cannot join this challenge as an individual?

You can't because it's a team challenge and I didn't implement anything like that.

I have tried to find my team captain and it seems there is not one anymore, cannot find any new reference documents on the groups leader....

Join an in-challenge team or create your own team (and make a request to me).

How often will your ranking update, every 15 minutes like on BoincStats ?

I usually do updates hourly.

Hello BOINC.Italy, thanks for invitation !

Hi Frank, welcome on board!

2 days ago i already saw a ranking there, but now i see only "Team rankings
Waiting for stats generation...".

Was this only a testrun, and now it waits until the race starts ?

Yeah, it was. Technically it's ready to start.
There will be another one or two just to be 100% sure that teams are correctly set up.
Don't worry about it, challenge will officially start on the date of BOINCstats (2021-03-08 12:00:00 UTC).

I've read here about 20 teams, on BoincStats are only 18 teams, "In Science We Trust" and "Wolrdwide Techservices" are not listed there.
Which one is the "official" ranking for the challenge ?

In Science We Trust and Worldwide TechServices asked me to join on BOINC Rankings.
Hopefully we will try to merge them and there will be no problems if team gaps are large enough. Anyway one year ago team points were pretty identical apart from roundoff errors (BS vs BR).
Another issue is that BOINC Rankings does not allow late entrant because it's independent from BOINCstats, so some teams could join the challenge on BOINCstats and not to be present on BOINC Rankings.

If you can't join this challenge on BOINCstats, let me know here (or by private message) and I will add your team on BOINC Rankings.

P.S. you have to be founder to make a request.
