I believe that they were last year, but I also know that in the college hoops bracket contest, two were ruled ineligible that got 2nd and 3rd in the contest (and imgv and ganchrow replaced them)...it says SBR employees and I believe that some/ most moderators aren't actually paid by SBR...could be wrong though...please enlighten me...

not this year pags from what i remember hearing before.Comment -
As far as I know, we are not. Havent really got word on it, just the listing in the rules that "SBR Employees" arent eligible. But there is a fine line between Employee and Moderator.
John? Bill?

onlooker and dan,
interesting...it'd be good to get clarification before the contest starts...ya know?...Comment -
let them play why not? they offer alot to the site and work hard see no reason giving away 50 prizes weekly they cant be eligible for prizes maybe just not the top $500 prize as they have the most posts IMHO but let them in its a fun contest everyone should enjoy!Comment -
I'm in agreement here ... Let them play and be eligible for prizes ... I've had my issues before with rules interpretation but don't see any here ... I don't know how many employees SBR has but moderators should participate ... Should I go on another insufferable crusade? ... hehehehehehe

Can't see any reason why Mods should not be able to join in the fun

SBR employees and moderators AND their families are NOT eligible to play in the Beat The Prick contest for the prizes listed.
However, we have created an SBR employee, moderators and their families Beat The Prick contest and the winner at season end will receive $500. There are no weekly prizes. ALL SBR’ers are encouraged to play in the general contest with the knowledge that they are not eligible for the listed prizes. However, the $500 cash prize and considerable bragging rights are up for grabs.Comment -
From the "Fine Print" section of Beat The Prick Contest Rules:• SBR Employees are eligible to participate in the contest but are ineligible to win prizes.The mods are considered SBR employees ... assuming they continue to cash those checks with the SBR logo on the top left corner
With that said, we discussed this issue several days ago and came to the conclusion that our mods should play and, if any of them are in the mix for season-ending prizes, that SBR would reward them separately ... I just don't remember exactly what we decided on for prizes.
I'll bet that Willie Bee has those Mod-Prize details handy ...
EDIT: I'll bet that SBR John has those Mod-Prize details handy ...Comment -
thanks for clearing things up for us Sean and SBR John...Comment -
Originally we had the top SBR prize as an all-expense paid trip to a free matinee show at Gruene Hall, including bus transfers from downtown Seguin. But John came through with something a little betterOriginally posted by Sean
I've got a side bet with The Prickster for a couple of bottles of hooch. Side bets with your co-workers, fellow posters, etc., are strongly encouraged

that's too bad, i would say let them playComment -
do you really want to go up against me?

I've never had any of that hooch stuff...Comment -
Stump,
They can play but not for prizes put up by the sponsors. I remember when I was at TheRx bash and they had these cah giveaways and it just so happens that all of the employees won the prizes...imagine the odds of that!?
The SBR'rs are the best cappers, no doubt about that. In a cash contest, winner take all, the SBR'ers made quick work out of TheRx and Tow last year. The eog knew they were over matched and didnt show. So we will let these guys fight it out for a decent prize of $500.Comment -
sbrjohn,
can I participate in the contest where SBR takes on the other forums?...I consider SBR my true home...Comment -

that's just.....sad

I don't believe that's true joe blow...Comment -
It was several years ago. No, not all their mods won prizes but many did. Sometime later a mod that stopped working there admitted it was rigged.
This is a contest for the players and only the players can win and claim prizes. And imho thats the way it should be. That way we avoid any possible conflict.Comment -
john, so do I get the nod for the SBR team?...or should I say coach john?...Comment -
honestly guys i think we should let this topic die.
it has come to me from industry insiders (shrink and roberto told me you dont have to know anyone just post it) that the mods of SBR are pretty upset they cant participate in the beat the prick contest.
one of the mods here was overheard saying "i havent had access to free money like this since the fvckin tooth fairy"
i tried to get a quote from the "prick" but he was so liquored up many people offshore started referring to him as "winbet".
i tried to talk to someone sensibly about this so i talked to doug but he kept saying i cant believe mika liked my bos shirt, do you think i have a shot with her?
so again please let this die and move onComment -
brooks, unfortunately it will probably die a slow death...Comment -
That contest was funOriginally posted by pags11
