So we have 8 days left including today so anyone 22 or more coming in can reach 30 and be eligible for the monthly prize. If the leader loses, then the guy in second at 30 who keeps picking Morneau will win the prize unless some at 23+ passes him to 31. If the leader wins today only the guys at 28,29, and 30 can get higher than 33 and beat him.
So basically, he should do the same thing as number 2 and pick Morneau until someone gets equal to him since ties award the prize to everyone tied.
