Thanks for your comment. I would like to hear more people speak out on this (closest without going over). Why is it "bad"? Why is it "good"?

That is OK for the Price Is Right game show...But, I don't see the point in this contest...Doug

Agree. The point of a contest like this is akin to golf's nearest-the-pin. Whoever is closest wins, no matter which side o' the hole the ball ends up.

Dasn't seem logical to me that the below-pictured ball could potentially be beaten by a fringe ball 50 feet away.

I concur most emphatically with your very logical argument, Spike.

FWIW ... I'm also not in favor of closest without going over. I only suggested it as a possible tie-breaker, though I think an earlier entry would serve that purpose better.

Thanks for keeping track Mimo ... and I really like the format you set up ... very easy to read.
