Maybe not worth saving as the Jan2019 IC $$$ spend counts towards renewing RA for 2020.
there's a reasonable chance they'll revert to their old playbook, time will tell.
i guess we'll have a better idea around Jan 4th.
we may see the first round of renewals on or about Jan 4th for those that have hit the hurdle by end of December, and the second round, in early February, for those that have hit it by end of January.
it would be more sensible than the past two years.
better still, they could revert to the entire historical playbook, and evaluate at the end of Oct, Nov, and Dec.
