So here's the problem, I have 3 invalid stocks and some disqualified stocks, originally I was just going to penalize them as -1 point. Problem is normal picks can go as low as -6 each, thus making these invalid picks a benefit in the year of financial cliff jumping.

My fix if there are no objections...
invalids and picks below -50% of value will be -2 points, -50 to -99% will be -1 point, 0% to +14% at 0 points and +1 for every 15% above start value.

Also I'll review it at the end and make sure the rule change doesnt screw somebody out of a legit victory.
