    Did I miss something in the rules for the BTP football contest

    I received this PM today:
    Hi,

    You must apply for the SBR Pro program by Monday night, November 5th to remain in the 2012 BTP contest.

    If you fail to apply for SBR Pro by that time, you will be removed on Tuesday morning from the contest: SBR Pro program application

    Let me know of any questions.

    SBR Annie

    So if I do not apply to become a SBR Pro I lose my fee tha I paid to enter the contest?

    Changing the rules midway through the contest doesn't seem right to me.

    Antone else get this PM?

    Yes you missed that rule. It was discussed a couple of times in the contest announcement thread.

    4. At the start of week 10, all Non-Pro users will be ejected from contest.


    Read the "fine print" rules section.

    You won a few points last week. Don't get yourself in over your head. You probably won't win again so don't let the sbr application make you think you will win any money.

    i missed reading fine print too, Why would they let ya play for 10 wks ?? been a member since 2008 and have not joined the pro system becauuse of job and security reasons. So getting kicked out of BTP contest going to change me ?? Enjoyed playing while I could. Just sad it ends. Nothing against Pro's they pay for what they receive.

    JUST WISH WISH SBR WOULD LET ME BE A REGULAR MEMBER WITHOUT ALL THE DRAMA OF BEING A PRO.

    if you talk to them about your circumstances and you bet real money online at one of their sponsored books I'm sure they can accommodate something for you

    What sort of drama is involved??


    It is the drama that you dont have $200 in your bank account? That could be the ONLY reasonable explanation as to why you wont join

    Hi guys,

    As mentioned, this term was included in the fine-print from day one.

    We are standing by to help users with their SBR Pro inquiries, and will make sure that users who decide to apply are all set.

    I doubt that they can make exceptions. That opens up a whole new can of worms. Just send in the $200 to charity. That is chump change to everyone around here
