102246756 OP pcwSg : Did they provide reasons why u were disqualified ?

102246756 OP pcwSg : No wonder suddenly ur ID disappear for no reason, but i dun recall seeing that particular T&C anywhere. I only found this; the rules as per attached screenshot below means if we were to reach max limit per prize category, we cannot win future prizes for all remaining seasons.
Since 1st, 2nd, 3rd are unique without duplication, anyone that wins them in the Beginning seasons will not be eligible for ANY prizes in the future. However, as the max qty for USD80, USD50, USD10 per prize category [ ignoring placements ] are more than 1pc, according to their nonsense rules, we could win 1 of each of those in any sequence PER season without exceeding max prize category limit then proceed to win top 3 during the final season. Technically that is still correct isnt it ?

102246756 OP pcwSg : My concern are two fold:
1 - Their rules state event runtime is from USA Eastern Time 0930-1600hrs Mon-Fri which corresponds to 2130-0400hrs Singapore time, therefore the system should be based on Full intraday market trading hrs as per previous S1 & S2, not cut off anyhow suddenly at 0000hrs SGT without prior notice or warning. Are they going to compensate or makeup those deserving participants whose closing market values at 0400hrs SGT lets their portfolio jump placement within top 100 ? And how about those lucky fellas who clearly dont deserve it, get better prizes simply because organiser decides to play punk ?  Where is the fair play ? If there is no integrity in their words or conditions or terms anywhere, do u think they wouldnt pull the rug on our funds if there is market turbulence ? Since their rules mean nothing to them or us ? In fact some of us are suspecting the time was cutoff suddenly so that participants close to them can benefit from the prizes
2 - Same logic goes for S4, if they claim the rules start from 0000hrs SGT onwards, then damn well they can run a concurrent S4 without stopping S3 isnt it ? To say its China national holiday does not make sense, are they so broke or incapable that they do not have coders or set the event to run, start, stop automatically without human intervention ? C'mon, any Singapore poly or even secondary student  can easily code a Python program to do the same thing easily nowadays. If they tell u its due to holiday its simply pushing the problem to another day so that u will forget and not pursue the issue lah
Mainland companies all behave the same way, Different problems but same taichi tactics. All come from the same playbook. Limpeh pui

102246756 OP pcwSg : My S2 + S3 screenshots below:
S2 ー Aug31 Tue - From SGT 2130hrs To Sep01 Wed SGT 0400hrs - still possible to paper trading and portfolio does update itself dynamically
'
S3 ー Sep01 Wed 0000-0400hrs - I recall it was possible to click "Join", the interface shown additional S3 while showing S2 in the paper trading dropdown box, but system will prompt something like "event has not started" if attempt to paper trading is done
'
S3 ー Sep01 Wed only started from SGT 2130hrs for active trading
As for SGT 0000hrs portfolio cutoff screwup, it only happened during this S3 > S4 for the 1st time

102246756 OP : In ur case, ur account would already have been "specially marked"; cannot add new orders, while mine still operates as usual as do the rest of all contestants.
'
The statement "end at 2359hrs" is already itself ambiguous, u can see the interpretation is messy:
'
A - Stop new orders at 0000hrs + score all portfolios,  marked to market at 0000hrs ? [ S3 only ]
'
B - Stop new orders at 0000hrs + score all portfolios,  marked to market at 0400hrs ? [ Never happened before ]
'
Do recall that previous scoring of S1 & S2 portfolios were based on 0400hrs results + execution of orders were also available until 0400hrs.
'
U can say it is in line with tnc for this S3 > S4 transition, but that also means that S1 & S2 participants are shortchanged because they, the organiser, Did NOT follow their own tnc running the competition ? Put it this way, if S1 & S2 were to be retroactively scored according to 2359hrs cutoff instead of 0400hrs cutoff AND resulting u, becoming 2nd place receiving 1888 instead of 8888 and they want to claw back the prize money, will u do it ? Few hundred participants in 2 seasons were affected unfairly because they were Not "in line" previously, thats why
