It turns out, you have to be a current donor to the site to enter.

I had been a supporting member for years, but cut that off a couple of years ago when I wasn't logging in that regularly anymore. I can't enter, so being a former donor is insufficient.

Oh well. :)

So donate now & enter?

How much does it cost to be a "donor"?

You guys are nutty.   :)

True story for Thorsteinn:  My 10 year old son wrestles freestyle and was thoroughly roughed up at a tournament two weeks ago.  They handed him a medal for 4th place!   ::)

I was proud of my son's effort; the other boys were just plain better and more experienced.  I was very proud of my son when he was confused as to why he got a medal at all...

Yeah, I mean, if you're going to give a participation trophy, then at least be honest and make it mean something like a Marathon or 5K does.

Wait... those are more "congrats on being stupid enough to try, and determined enough not to die in the attempt" as I found out. ;)
