You can also sign up for the nag-reminder service, by request. This means, when I remember to do it, I'll re-send the start mail a day or two before the deadline. If it should ever actually happen that the player limit is reached, only the first 25 people to submit answers will be included. I will try to send out a message right away so people don't waste their time answering. But seriously, we've never even come close to this limit.
Most rounds have between three and eight people.
Once a year or so we get as many as 12. So don't let this discourage you from playing. So if you skip a round, your average does not change. In fact, you are heavily discourage from playing a round unless you know you'll be around during the following week to vote. See the rules, as listed below, for more details on how to play.
