Heaven forbid, "disqualified from prizes", OMG! :embarrest:
I can just hear it now Tom.
Certain members crying 'rigged' when they know the rules and attempt to cheat nonetheless!
Kudos to you for calling their behavior out and shame on them for doing so.
Sadly, it sounds all too familiar these days I'm afraid!

No, no cheating. They were actually minor infractions but nonetheless, we can't bump others off the top list if someone made an extra IFT somewhere - probably an oversight or a catch up IFT that they missed inputting the prior month. I actually sent yanni123 a prize because they were not happy, and I get it. It was an incredible year with one extra IFT back in April that barely impacted the return. And if BHRUNIKH contacts me I'll probably do the same because again, it wasn't blatant misuse of the limits.

I have had people enter repeated excess IFTs in the past and I had to just remove them, but it's rare. It obviously wasn't their TSP account they were tracking.

I was contacted by BHRUNIKH and, after taking another look, I realized that the only extra IFT was done on Friday (Dec 29) of all days, after no issues all year. It was invalid as far as the TSP goes, but it had no impact on the annual return since it was effective COB on the last day of the year.

So, I will also send BHRUNIKH the winning e-gift card.

Sorry for the confusion. I updated the winning standings.

YEA, I got an honorable mention!

No actual prize, but this is a prize in itself. Looking forward to 2024!
