Interesting scoring system
(United States)

Appears your "score" has nothing to do with how many real tracks you find. Rather, scoring is based solely on the error control slides - slides deliberately inserted that the project leaders already know there is nothing or ones where they digitally add a track to see if you get it. Your score is the number of these control slides you got correct minus the ones you got wrong - so your score can go both up and down

Those you think you find are flagged for the project leaders to eyeball closely to confirm. Many people see the same slides you do and the system keeps track of how many have viewed it and how many think they saw something on it. There is also, for each of the slides you flag, a field that reports what the project leaders have determined about that slide which will give a big pat on the back if it is confirmed (for me at least it will - none of the 6 I've flagged so far have been checked yet by the proj ldrs)

Don't know if this project will ever support teams. It is not a Boinc project, but none the less, good for science. Not to mention a constructive way to waste those 5min before the meeting starts .
