Applying the usual minimax criterion in finite sampling theory yields complicated solutions except the parameter space has certain invariance properties. A conditional minimax criterion is suggested. After a sample is selected it is reasonable to seek an estimator that has good properties (e.g. minimaxity) for that sample. Explicit solutions are given in the case where the parameter space is described by quadratic forms.
