[Daisy]

I think I forgot something ....

[Tim Northcutt]

Yours is about an hour late, NaBUru38.

If the others don't mind, we'll let it slide, but don't make late entries a habit...I set the deadlines so that no one can benefit from seeing who is running well and how fast or slow they are running when others are making those selections before practices start.

[Yannick]

I think late entries should be allowed in. However, if they win more than one of the speed contests, they should get their times disallowed.

But I'm just a part time entrant so what do I know about governing a series? ;-)
