    There are about 160 ending today, you need to move past all the advent comps starting with A: instead of E:

    They start on page 47

    You only need to look at the number of pages on the Competition forum to see there are more competitions posted in December ... I think we're at around 220 pages at the moment, recently it's been hovering around the 200 mark (before December) ... if you then consider that in that every Advent post there could potentially be 12 (or even 24) individual competitions, there's definately more in December.

    Although, in saying that, there might be less E: (normal) competitions because a lot of the companies are running advents instead of their standard comps, so it depends how you define it and if you include a daily advent as one competition or potentially 12, or 24

    Couldn't you use the Game Over folder, sort into end date, and see how many pages have 31 Dec as their end dates as opposed to the other months?
