You're right about the issued being ironed out. This first contest is definitely an opportunity for us to get everything fixed.
I've notified everyone affected and asked them to resubmit. It was 6 or 7 members. I can't believe I made such a glaring mistake, though. (Where's the smacking the forehead icon when you need it?)
As for if there is a tie, well, that would be pretty unusual but I guess I'll just let Bill at Caladium Bulbs 4 Less decide what he wants to do.
