Look forward to participating, even though my magnitude is small.
How do the timed competitions work? Do they only count tasks that are downloaded after it starts? Or do you get rewarded for any tasks that completes in the competitive window?

This is a good question because I have been working on SETI since yesterday. I was thinking of pausing all of my SETI tasks right now and finishing everything else except for SETI and then resuming SETI when the competition starts.
This is a good question! We think that the competitions only care about completed tasks during the competition. If you pause them now, make sure that they do not expire!
Could be wrong here, but I guess we'll find out soon = ).
If I find the time I'll hop over to the BOINC forums and ask them and relay the answer back here.
