I'll be carrying over the survivors from this year on the off chance they don't die before 1/1/24, but I'm guessing I'll have few replacements. I hate putting my 10, but

I'm kicking around the idea of allowing late participants, with the caveat of every day past the deadline, you lose your top remaining confidence point slot.

For instance, a post on the 1st would only have 9 picks and no #10, a post on the 4th would have 6 spots and no confidence points for 10 through 7, and so forth.
