Rules for Pick of The Year (PoTY) 2021

[jiesen]

Ok, done. I've deleted half of my inbox and outbox, so there's room again! (Cleared some 12 year old messages from you, too.... but I am keeping all the messages from Riverbabe though)

Oh, you needed to only delete one message that’s all. Thanks.
I took screen shots of all messages from Riverbabe and everyone else and saved them as PDFs.

Two days left. Please get your picks in. Thanks

WHERE ARE YOU?!?!

I hope it’s not a login problem. Get your PotY picks in. The contest won’t be complete without you!

I propose that if it’s the login/access problem, they be allowed to add a future pick without penalty.

I couldn't get in using firefox so went to goggle chrome, now firefox is working fine.

I am Ok with this suggestion. For future picks do we use the deadline price date of January 29, 2021 or the price date of entry? How long do we want to extend it? Thanks

Wait a minute here.....I picked KOSS short on 1/29 when it was at $73 with the understanding that the contest was 1/29 closing price. KOSS has dropped now to $35. If you are gonna change the date, then I get to change my pick (right???). Scratch my previous pick and now put me down for TKC long.

Please standby, we are working out the details. Thanks

To be fair, my suggestion would be to use the closing price of the date of entry. I can go back and compile all the entries that were made after January 29th by their date of post. We can put a limit on late entries too. Maybe say no later than the end of February for a late entry without penalty. Hopefully, we’ll have our web site access issues worked out before then. To be fair, we could also let Minni17 decide whether to stay with the original pick of KOSS short or the new pick of TKC long since the original pick was put in before the original deadline.

Note to Minni: Keep in mind that while sticking with KOSS will start you off with a lead, it will also limit your max gain to <100% because it’s a short. Last year’s winner, Riverbabe, had a 246% gain.

What do you think of all this, John Henry. I’m flexible with all this stuff

[minni17]

Toss Koss and change my pick to TKC. Thanks for the consideration. ...Minni

Sorry, I filled it up!

Sure, I was thinking the same yesterday.

Picks after January 30, 2021 will get the entry date closing price and the rest gets January 29, 2020 closing price. Thanks
