    Why are there so many competitions that are placed by board guides into game over several days before they have finished? There are loads of competitions ending 23rd, 24th and 25th in game over.

    Now forgive me if I am wrong but many compers can only come on here at the weekend and may still need to enter these competitions, whilst other enter some comps during the week and 'catch up' at the weekend. I come on here every day and have still found lots of comps in game over which i havent entered.

    I know that these are moved in on a thurs/friday because guides have a life at the weekend, but surely this is unfair to a large proportion of the compers that do weekends only?

    If the board guides are struggling with the amounts of competitions then they should let somebody else become a board guide.

    Mostly cause the Board Guides do a sweep prior to going off for the weekend so they don't get overloaded on a Monday when they have less time - probably :D

    Ok but its very hard to find them once they are in game over, with the amount of comps in there they are a lot better off on the main board until they have actually finished! If they are struggling to manage then there should be more of them.

    I think that the BGs do a great job - for free doing a lot for us to keep the boards maintained. If I miss a few comps that have been game overed, then I see it as tough luck, I win loads from the ones I enter.

    I am a bit obsessive but I never feel the need to rummage around Game Over to see if I've entered everything :D

    I thought peeps were asked not to post them so other peeps might have decided not to?

    Or am I totally behind the times :p
