I don't know if you guys are being serious, but I got crushed and finished well up the track. I did have some problems making a late minute switch that would have been off the board anyways.

The site stopped working about mid-contest for me. It gave me numerous errors on "Database Connections" etc. Those I knew who were playing as well had problems and they elected to cancel the contest. If you visit the site for the event, you'll see the message.

I'm not sure, as they have not yet announced, when they will offer it again.

Thanks, I just visited the website. I don't know what's my status since I was a freebie into the contest.

They made the right choice. The technical issues put them in a really difficult spot. If they let the contest finish then you have a long list of angry players who could have won with a chance to get their picks in etc.
