At least when I did it I think I wasn't really in contention of winning at that point anymore so it didn't matter. It's just that I don't like having a new sig I really like waiting to put up and potentially having it only up for a shortened week. That way people can see a good one (Or one that I at least think is good, although ironically I have had sigs I thought were great not get any attention and one or two of the ones I though were just ok have won.) for longer. I have even contemplated having some of them up for more than one week, but I haven't did that yet. It's like opening a new present on Christmas and sometimes you don't want to wait longer than you have to.
Maybe once I start running out of ideas for new sigs I will do that though.
Now that I know what you prefer I will keep them up until the winner is announced. It won't be that bad, and if I like the next sig enough I will just keep that one up for longer.
