    500 pts entry. One prize only. For real? Too cheap to award the top 3 I see. Pass.

    Yep Mike, gone forever looks like. Went from something respectable and legitimate to these fuk’in bread crumbs they throw out here now.

    And since there’s no SBR Store ever coming back either, they’ve obviously figured out how to slowly drain point balances with these cheesy contests that require no real handicapping skills, just a lucky guess on the tie breaker.

    Shell of what it once was and a very empty one at that. But hey that’s progress.

    Andy winner takes all is just brutal. I guarantee you’ll have 400 entries. Any chance you can reconsider? Even 300 - 150 - 50. Or at least allow up to 3 entries. My god man.
