The Contest Challenge

YAY! Great work! As far as I can tell (without digging too deeply), it looks like you did everything correctly! Was it you telling me some folks entered closed contests? Well, that's only 1 of the many issues I'm finding with new and recently returned participants. But you know whose fault that is? Mostly my own! Sure, they could have done a better job with reading the instructions, but I'M the one who wasn't around to catch the problems sooner, so that part is 100% on me! And I KNOW new participants struggle and I knew I had at least 1 new one, so again, that's my own fault. Whatever. I'm doing my best to correct and give credit anyway because it's not their fault I wasn't around to catch their mistakes the 1st month they made them.

I would say this will teach me a lesson, but I know it won't.

Anyway, good job doing things right (as far as I can tell)! YAY FOR YOU (and me lol)! (And thanks for the heads up that things were going awry.
