We are thinking along the same lines--the longer the halt, the greater the liklihood of bad news. Your last sentence is why I was thinking you would be given one opportunity to trade out, at the halted price, only on the next available trading date allowed in the contest--or be stuck with the halted stock until either it resumes trading or contest ends. Potentially a roll of the dice edit-in my original post I meant recuse, not recluse although both may be applicable

Stocks are worth what you can sell them for. If halted, they have zero LIQUID value until you are allowed to sell. If the contest ends with a halted stock, I vote to give it zero value and.... I'd probably give the owner of a halted stock a waiver to not have it count against losing a star or getting a last place finish if set to zero when a contest ends... sort of say "we won't count this against your record" but we won't let it help you have a Barry Bonds 'roid tainted season either.
