Either remove new player protection when they join a team or disallow new players from joining.
Unfair to have it both ways as new players are allowed to take part, attack and give their teams an advantage while opposing teams are unable to retaliate

There is a bug and it is clearly being exploited.
A response from Ched or another Dev would very much be appreciated.
Restricting them from entering is bad practice, in my opinion. Their protection should just be removed when they pick a team, and perhaps have this outlined (I.e. You will no longer have New Player Protection, are you sure you want to join X team?).
That said, I'm not sure if they would be able to remove the protection from everyone who's already entered. I would hope they can, but they may as well just fix it for next year...
Whom? Most of those people would be available to attack by the end of the competition (two week cutoff). Next year we could just limit new players from joining - which we should have already been doing really.
Last year, it was decided that new players could just attack other new players - instead of brand new players just getting totally stomped by everyone. If you think there's a bunch of multis somewhere, where are they? I can't really imagine much can be gained from it.
My point was that they shouldn't have protection in the first place. This protection should really have been taken away from them as soon as they made the decision to take part in this competition. (similar to how new player protection is removed as soon as they join a faction who's at war with another faction).
Tbh it doesn't really matter. New players will only have the stats to attack other new players, so they aren't really giving their team an unfair advantage.
