Yes, we'll probably use these next couple of weeks to read and consider the participant's comments / suggestions / ideas on how to improve the competition, before opening the registration period for a couple more weeks. So, the new Tipster Competition will probably start around December 1.

By the way, please keep an eye on the Discussion Thread instead (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1256522), as all the information will be posted there (and this thread will eventually be locked, now that the previous competition is over).
