No, it would have still been a problem. It's just that I wouldn't have had to worry about disqualifying your tips if none of them had run a place.

Ahh no, actually, there has only been one set of tips posted just after the 1pm deadline (1:12) in the previous 4 weeks of the comp, and that was by you on the first week. Nobody else has posted tips after 1 o'clock.

The deadline is still 1pm. That is still the time that I want everyone to post their tips by. But in cases like yours where for some reason people have difficulty posting their tips, I am willing to accept tips up until the start time of the feature race. But certainly no later than that. I think that is fair.

As Chuck said, that is putting Real Deal in a terrible situation. He has done nothing wrong and shouldn't be penalised or made to look bad because you couldn't get onto the computer.
