Re: To share or not to share

Strictly speaking, there reaches a point in the season where the risk of another team stealing your idea becomes a bit of a non-issue, as it's a bit too late for other teams to successfully change track to copy you.

It's a team specific quandry, but if nothing else I wouldn't worry about sharing ideas once you're about three weeks in. At that point, only the most skilled teams will be in a position to really take your idea and you'll still have a chance to get interesting suggestions and/or feedback.
