Thanks for the suggestion Gil. I had thought about that situation. What I was going to do was to post a cut off point at 12pm sharp (according to the Teletext clock) .... No More Bets .... Any that appear after that are eliminated. Hold off for as long as you can, but take the risk of elimination if you are too late. My guess is that if there is 2 contestants at the end, they could both be posted at say 11:58 am ! Or perhaps at the end, when there are 3 or less contestants, if someone wants to they can post their picks to my personal e-mail address and I'll post them to the group at noon. Any more than 3 contestants and it becomes difficult to cover everybody through copycatness. Yea ... I think we'll go with that. But until there are 3 or less contestants left, it's open slather. But be careful of the 12 noon cutoff, or 1 hour before start if race is before 1 pm. Peter.
