The deadline is this coming Monday. So far there have been three entries.
Just in case there's been some misunderstanding, I'm going to add one week to the match. But here's the catch: If we don't receive at least 10 more entries by the original deadline, I'm going to declare the first three entrants as winners and cancel the extension.
There is nothing punitive about this. I'm not angry. No one is obligated to enter a postal match. They're run simply for fun. If they're not fun or interesting or worthwhile now, so be it. I set 'em up, so if they're a bore, that's my fault.
The only problem for me is that running them involves work, and if they're no longer popular, let's just blow that pop stand for a while.
BTW: I blame Trump. He's sucked the joy out of the American marrow.
