Is there any kind of minimum post-count for entrants as there used to be iirc, or are you throwing this year's competition completely open?
Well, I think that should be up to the general consensus of the players. Whatever they think.
I would prefer more numbers so I'm open to anybody but I understand players not wanting sharks coming in that weren't previously any part of the forum.
But if a complete newcomer came in and they had a history of 450,000th, 250,000th and 300,000th in the last 3 years, I personally wouldn't see a problem as he wouldn't be a shark. If he had a really good history ranking or no history at all, then that might be suspicious.
