    Problem is Game Over includes previous years as well as 2013.

    You can get around this by only searching in game over for those posted in say the last three months. You should catch most of them then.

    Another thing to bear in mind is that the Board Guides volunteer hours of their time to keep these boards clear & running smoothly so sometimes comps which are ending today or perhaps tomorrow (in rare cases) may be moved to Game Over a little early - this is a task which has to fit around their real lives & also when they have some spare 'online' time.

    I think it depends on what time you enter? I entered todays comps earlier today and there were still quite a few to enter.

    I started todays last night and finished them this morning thankfully. But otherwise I would have only been getting to them now.

    This has happened before with no real explanation. Comps shouldn't be moved before the end date is over. Its daft to do so regardless of the personal reasons. People miss out on comps if they comp via end date.

    Are you being serious? "regardless of the personal reasons"??? Managing to enter comps on the day they're due to end is hardly life or death. Presumably people didn't get to them earlier because real life got in the way, should the same consideration not be given to the Board Guides?

  • I could understand people being annoyed if the comp posts had been deleted, but they haven't been.
