    there are a number of late entries.
    We will let it slip this time.
    An idea that i have is that late enterers wont be able to go into the prize pool.
    This should become a part of the rules.
    I am inviting commentry on this.
    After all this is for a bit of fun.

    Rules are rules (still need them when having fun, otherwise it can descend into not being fun) but any entering after the 14th opening should not be eligible for any prizes. Should go at the end of the list whether they are last or first

    Stick to the rules. Not in on time then try again next year. Personal responsibility certainly lacking.

    there are two competing ideas here.

    The competition [for me and i hope others ] is a fun thing. So is it a fun thing?
    The other : is it a year competition or an 11 month competition?

    the introduction of money : Does this detract from the fun?

    i do think over the year some of these thoughts could be thought about and discussed and decisions made before 2020.

    ONE of many options :
    two tier competition. first level: pick for the competition and a prize BEFORE the BEGINNING of the next year open - (noon 02 01 2019 this year new zealand time)
    second level - fun - no prize enter before a date
    ONE ENTRY per person

    DISCUSSION purposes only before next year. does not affect me at all.
    Be aware of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
    that not forbidden is mandatory.
    Anyone but o'brien

    in the past late entries have been disallowed. i shall post first run after decisions.
    also in the past invalid entries have been left at -100% - invalid . this year i suggested a change - next valid ticker alphanumerically in ASX. - not in the rules, just a suggestion - included in an early run.

    decisions on:

    late entries
    invalid tickers entered

    please.

    That was my fault- I thought I had sent in an entry on my phone with a dodgy internet connection when we were on holiday.

    Anyway, the entries are exactly the same as last year...continuation of my 2018 competition.
