Has anyone else noticed this?

Wasn't really sure what to call this thread, this is just something I noticed today.

I usually enter the bulk of my competitions at the weekend and sort by end date so end up entering ones finishing at the weekend but I had today off work (:j) so went through entering comps ending today and got through them much quicker than I usually would at the weekend!

I skipped a lot of them but it still felt like there were fewer of them finishing today than at the weekend.

Has anyone else noticed that there are fewer competitions finishing mid-week? Or on Tuesdays? Or on Tuesdays in January? Or is it just completely random how many competitions finish on a given day?

This is just idle curiosity :rotfl:

    My unofficial finger in the air thinks Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday are the most popular end days.

    Excluding the dailies, Tuesday and Wednesday ending competitions seem to be less in evidence.

    Lots end on Fridays and at the end of a month, so a month ending on a Friday is by far the worst of the lot.

    Worse things will have happened in the world today...

    Friday 31st January is going to be a nightmare with loads of comps ending and probably extra because it is also the Chinese New Year on that day too!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea
