I agree with Tuppy, I think the contest is fine the way it is. If on a certain day there are not enough selections for your fancy, take the day off. Surviving does require some patience as well as getting a lucky break every now and then in key situations.
Someone mentioned that being +100 is good in this contest. That is all relative to how many selections you have overall. For instance, I have seen 1 player with 3000 total selections, if he is 1550-1450, that is not a good enough ratio to be winning anything to wriite home about. Rather a better way of judging a player is by %. I think 55% is rock solid, and if I see players above this, I will not hesitate to follow them like a religion.
As always, good luck to all.
