    Bogus rule by SBR - Pay McIrish
    SBR- You run some great contests but screwed McIrish. In horse racing if the horse taking first gets DQed, then all horses move up a position.

    Poker winner was DQed so 2nd place should move to first.


    P.S. Thanks for the contests.

        Winner was underaged employee of SBR so SBR didn't pay a winner. McIrish took second and instead of being moved up to first, he was paid for second.

                  That's it, problem solved going forward. Last night we had an underaged mod playing that told everyone he was playing for fun, when he came in 1st suddenly we are told that it counts, nobody will be paid for the spot he took. What made it bad is we all thought we were going to be moved up once he made the final table, we just took it for granted, we soft played him to a title and now suddenly it's SBR policy that it's tough shit if an ineligible player comes in the money. Why would the players that did everything by the book be punished?

                  The ruling has already been made, Lou has been clear it's not changing but what do you guys think? WTF am I missing here? Is Lou's policy reasonable? I just don't get why you would not only agree but would insist on paying out all the prizes that were stated in the rules. Almost like he took pleasure in seeing an ineligible guy take the top spot.

                      No No you got it all wrong.

                      It turns out that ws McIrish's nephew who put in the horse contest play. Therefore the McIrish entry is Dq'd as well.

                        Will the same thing happen in the sports contests? Some of them pay decent money. If the winner is underaged, does that mean that no one gets paid for first even if the underaged guy is an SBR employee?

                              Raiders, while I appreciate it I prefer to let it drop. And for the record it wasn't just me, I think everyone that came in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th should have gotten paid as well if there was a difference in the pay out they received. It's dumb to me to say that a player that is deemed ineligible is not allowed to take a prize but is allowed to keep someone else from winning. That doesn't make sense, someone that does everything right is pushed down on the pay scale or doesn't qualify at all because an ineligible player finished ahead of them? Most forums if they find anyone didn't send the account # in, are underage, are not eligible to play at the sponsor book, were caught cheating or for any other reason and are deemed to be ineligible to recieve a payout then everyone else is simply moved up so the forum can pay out the stated prizes before the contest began. With this new policy that ineligible players can't take money from SBR but can keep others from winning is just a disaster waiting to happen. I'd hate to finish behind some ineligible players in BTP contest for example, according to the new policy regardless of the reason someone ahead of you is ruled ineligible you are just shit out of luck. Anyway we've beat this horse enough, they've made the call and those playing in contests will live with the new rules.

                              BTW it wasn't about the money, I've already stated I wouldn't take the rest of it regardless of whether the decision is overturned or not. I just know going forward I would like to think that eligible players can't get screwed out of getting paid for winning something if they are beat by someone that was never eligible to receive a pay out in the first place.

                                  Oh he's not? I thought Sammy was the guy that did the pizzas and all for SBR? If not a mod isn't he an employee of some sort? Or do I have the wrong guy entirely? LOL. Either way that isn't the point, the point is I disagree with the decision that anyone ruled ineligible for whatever reason should never take a spot on the payout scale ahead of others. If SBR says 10 spots will be paid then 10 spots should be paid. If someone placed and is not eligible to be paid he should be replaced with the guy that finished 11th. Common sense. I'm not real popular, I would guess if it happens to a regular around here the rule will quickly be amended. I sure hope so, it's pretty silly the way it is right now. Had may contests at the RX, someone cheated or was ruled ineligible for any reason than everyone moved up the pay scale, we didn't just keep the money, LOL. Anyway let's move on boys, shows over, don't forget to tip your waitresses on your way out.

                                    well i got 4th inthat tourny or 5th i dont remember but everyone should move up one place on the money ....pay me mines

                                    the dude that won that tourny even told all of us he was only 20 and couldnt sign up at The Greek so its only fair to let us all move up , i know its not alot of cash but its just the right thing to do

                                      And for the record nothing against Sam, he played his ass off, I'm happy he won. He deserved to win. Props.

                                        Guys, don't worry because SBR paid Sammy off with 200 SBR points which equals about $10
                                        So that's way better than $200 cash play
                                        BTW I finished 5th so excuse me if I sound bitter

                                          Actually 30K you were cruising along at the time Sammy put you out. I think a couple of you guys got bent over way worse than I did. Truth is if Sammy wasn't in I probably don't come near the top of the board, he did most the dirty work, LOL. And again I don't think Sammy did anything wrong but for guys like you it sucks to get eliminated from the tourney by a guy that wasn't even eligible to win anything. Not only he couldn't win but he took the top prize off the board for everyone else because he was underage. I hope going forward that more and more guys don't just play the freebie for the hell of it and take the top prizes off the board. You could play where not only the $200 is taken down by an ineligible player like it was this time but several more of the top spots as well. According to the rule those prizes will be kept by the site and not dished out to anyone, LOL. Hope Sammy didn't start a trend.


                                          Good night men, big day tomorrow, looks like I'm taking the Nuggets right up my ass. I'm out.

                                            if you are not 21 and dont have a greek account how did he play?

                                            seems unfair to me.

                                            its the same thing though in the BTP contest free loaders take away from the real gamblers.

                                            its free so what good does complaining do?

                                                  The poker prizes are not for a great sum of money, but some of the sports contests pay well. What is the ruling on minors winning in future contests. Will illegitimate players cut into funds of honest players in contests?

Or do I have the wrong guy entirely? LOL. Either way that isn't the point, the point is I disagree with the decision that anyone ruled ineligible for whatever reason should never take a spot on the payout scale ahead of others. If SBR says 10 spots will be paid then 10 spots should be paid. If someone placed and is not eligible to be paid he should be replaced with the guy that finished 11th. Common sense. I'm not real popular, I would guess if it happens to a regular around here the rule will quickly be amended. I sure hope so, it's pretty silly the way it is right now. Had may contests at the RX, someone cheated or was ruled ineligible for any reason than everyone moved up the pay scale, we didn't just keep the money, LOL. Anyway let's move on boys, shows over, don't forget to tip your waitresses on your way out.
