Hard close ear end clan points

Given the blatant practice of sandbagging of points carried over into January each year by the top 2 clans (once either realises they have either won or lost the year the points are sandbagged until the next year), there needs to be a simple close to each year along the following lines:-

on 31st December a simple program runs that looks at each open challenge and for all those challenges where the remaining games are 'nugatory' (Vespin/Rusty you will need to use a dictionary), the remaining games are set to void (ie treated as though the games had less than 5 moves), and the points awarded accordingly.

This wont stop the points sandbagging in entirety, but will for sure minimise the blatant practice of the top 2 clans in particular.

Dear Russ, this is a simple piece of code .... and there is plenty of time to implement this between now and 31/12/2024

Thank you for thinking about the problem and putting forward a suggestion.

I don't think this will hekp. Clan leaders will find a workaround. I ciould suggest some... As long as people are hard wired on winning, they will be creative...
