Why keep the valentines parkour open?

I got on a hour ago after a long day of school and hanging out with some friends. I saw that their was a new parkour. (10 hours after the post was made for it on the forums) So, I went and finished it. But, the thing is the bumper is already full. Even though I just got on, I have no chance of being entered into the contest. It took less than ten hours for a contest that has six days left to be finished. I believe this is unfair to the players that couldn’t get on until five hours plus after the contest just started. People where at school, work, or even where sleeping causing them to not even know their was a contest that had six days left, yet was already finished. What if a raffle box was put at the end that only allowed each person to put in one token? So, anyone that completes it has a chance instead of losing it while they’re sleeping, working, etc.
Anyways, back to the title why not close it? The bumper is full and people are wasting their time doing it as they get on Cubic Castles after their days. From what I understand their isn’t prizes for the faster times. Just for fun I was trying to get fast times in it, and multiple people where upset that it was already full (Especially after they spent a Chunk of time completing it for nothing)
I guess another way I would be fine with this, it if there was a sign at the entrance that said ‘Contest finished (Already). But, you can still do this parkour for fun!’
I guess this is general chat, help requests, and suggestions... A moderator can move this if needed.

Well, Idk
But seems like it is full but still doing for funsies ^^
There will always be more events, if you were unlucky enough to not get on this one there is always the next.
100 isn't anywhere near enough imo.
Maybe one with 1000 or yes a raffle like system would work better.
If it was filled up in less than 10 hours then yes this is a problem imo.
People will have been asleep at work or school.
It literally excludes half the world.
Or announce the event start time previous to the event starting.
A new bumper would be a nice touch though. Failing that I suppose bumpers could be manually added as each fills. But that isn't a perfect solution either as I can't garuntee being around to change it.
If not then people could use alts to cheat.
Don't get me wrong I agree with most of your points.
I think people should do the parkour because its fun to do not just to get prizes.
If there is no chance to win then that should be communicated in some form to avoid the frustration some users are having.
Me and others here have brainstormed ideas on ways to actually have the event run for it's full time which I think is constructive for future events.
Regarding the new bumper, I like that idea too. A raffle system would be far more efficient than guest bumper with 1000 name holding capacity. Being able to set the number of raffle winners would also be useful but is not necessary as long as the raffle can be reused multiple times until you either remove the block or somehow end the raffle.
