The holiday threw off the schedule some…I usually wait until after ADP to open up the contest but that was delayed until tomorrow.

Please note: Guesses close when the clock strikes 00.00 GMT. When Friday ends in Greenwich, (England), so does our entry period…

You asked for it, you got it

Thanks to Ryan for the suggestion!

For a coveted ForexLive tee shirt, guess the opening level of EUR/USD on Sunday afternoon/Monday morning in Asia. EBS will be official data source.

Closest to the opening rate wins.

UPDATE: Just to four decimal places, kids… No need to amend earlier entries…

UPDATE 2: Entries close at 21:00 GMT, April 30.
