Tail wagging dog story? It seems to me that those who are doing the best in the contest would have the most interest in it and thus be more likely to trade. Those who are doing the worst have virtually no chance of winning so some are probably thinking "why bother" and don't trade.
BTW, I'm in the middle of the pack and in the middle of the # of trades made too.
