Heh - good. Came in late. Hope they have leverage in new one. Thought MW did, though maybe you disabled?

ETA: Heh - in the registration spam, one of the offers is for a Bitcoin e-book.

April 2nd update as of 2:00PM EST-The Marketwatch platform seems to be too slow, so I have set all of us up with a new competition at WallstreetSurvivor. We will need to start the competition over beginning April 3rd. I apologize for the switch, but I think most people would agree that the Marketwatch platform failed to live up to our expectations. The prize money will be the same as listed earlier.



How to apply to be a competitor: Simply reply to this thread indicating your desire to play, and then go register at Wallstreetsurvivor using your same screen name as this website.

Game location is found here:

I don't have facebook and nobody has AOL, I feel like a lot of people will be left out of this.

I had an aol account i created back in the 90s.  Somehow it was still active and I remembered it, so there.

I was able to create a new account without referencing my facebook account.

Yup. ETA: This is definitely slower than MW, though. Market orders are randomly delayed 0-5 minutes.

I need to apologize for canceling this tournament. I have had multiple disgruntled players indicate that players initiated positions in the market prior to the start of the tournament.

I know what they are referencing because I created the tournament yesterday, and indicated a start day of today, yet the game allowed me, as well as others to initiate positions yesterday and as a result players are already displeased.

I will allow the tournament to keep running for the underlying pleasure of competing, but I am canceling the prize money portion of this due to players already expressing discontent.

I apologize to everybody. I rushed into this without testing the tournament functionality. I hope I have not caused any undue stress to you guys.

I will need to look at this closer prior to trying this again.
