Hi Scott,

If person A picks a losing portfolio and his picks all go to zero by the end of the contest and if Person B picks a different set of picks and they too all go to zero by the end of the contest, who then is the loser?

If both were given an imaginary amount of $5 and both were worth $0 at the end wouldn't it be a tie?

Or is the loser determined by % as in

Person A's picks started out at $1000 and Person B's picks started out at $5.
Both become $0
A would then be the bigger loser and thus the big loser in the contest?

Thanks in advance

David Stockwell
