But what is going to happen this month is fine, I guess... I wouldn't change
the rules out from under this month's entry. They win. :-)

Going forward... This may be too complex but perhaps you could roll over

(and previous means going back a few months maybe, not just the most recent
previous) whenever there were less than 3 (or maybe 2??) entries.

Dunno.
