Originally posted by Abstract Actuary I haven't heard back from w_alloy yet, last activity over a week ago. GLB (via Catch22) said they will not be donating this year. So the prize fund has taken a big hit. If there are any other big hitters out there, feel free to step up.
I'm especially disappointed that GLB isn't stepping up. I would think this competition increases interest in the game and could also serve to keep one more player playing the game for a long time.
