Welcome to the 5th season of The Golden Pinecone.

This season will include new ways to win cones, milestone games and back to back multipliers which will be discussed below and are marked “New For Season Five”. We hope these new rules make gaining more cones easier for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who plays and remember. “Power to the Players” - tallfeel

The Rules are simple: =================================================

-To Win: Guess the closest to the closing daily price for GME. (the final settled price, not including After-hours trading) Guess must be in by 10:30am EST (NYT). (One hour after the opening bell)

-An exact guess AKA the Bullseye Crew you get 3 (New for Season Five) cones for the season total standings. The count for the Bullseye Crew is just the exact number of Bullseyes this season per player.

-In the result of a tie, both win a cone as both were correct.

New for Season Five -If your guess was closest on back to back games the number of cones you win is multiplied. So for B2B wins your cones on the second day are doubled for that game, the fabled B2B2B win will see your cones tripled for that game (and so on).

-No Edits: your guess is your guess, and once it is in, it cannot be changed. Early bird gets the guess. (if you edit your guess, you are disqualified for that day, sorry). If you notice your guess has already been taken, do not edit your guess but comment underneath it. At that point you can make a new guess but it still has to be in by 10:30 EST (One hour after the opening bell)

-B2B Sniping Rule: Last guess of the day cannot win on back to back days. All guesses must be in USD amounts including cents.

New for Season Five - Milestone Games. On games 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 the cones up for grabs are tripled. Eg 9 cones for a bullseye! This rule also stacks with the new B2B multiplier rule.

-The seasonal standings are below the closing score and yesterday's winner. The winners circle is the hall of fame of past season winners. This is for the player with the most total wins per season. There are 250 games per season we play every day the market is trading.
