With the addition of Capcondo we sit at 10 contestants and his $20 brings us to $550. Thanks Tim.

I received a suggestion through PM that we at this point split the pot to have a prize for second. Maybe 70/30 or 60/40? Myself I lean towards a winner takes all format but I will put it out for a vote. Split or don't split the pot? Please chime in and majority will rule. No majority will leave it at no split.

I'd say leave it as it is, no split. If there was a large number entered than having a 2nd or 3rd prize would make sense. Or refund their entering fee up to $10 so they don't have to deal with PayPaL etc. However what ever the majority suggest is OK with me.

Is Florida about 5 minutes behind the rest of the planet? Post time is 1:00PM and here at 1:05 they are still trotting around. Like usual. Tampa the same.
