Of course, or more likely, to make more profit... As I said, they are entitled to make profit as a business. But if they can't get enough entries by the deadline to pay for their business, and they have to rely on a blatantly false deadline premise, then their business model or their timetable is flawed, or they aren't advertising enough before the deadline. Regardless, it's a poor practice, ethically speaking. I could forgive it as a one-time thing if there are circumstances involved, but when that is the standard practice and is admitted to being such by the company, then that = mad
