Just a question - is the format the same as last year? By that I mean can I ignore the rules until I get eliminated from the contest and then whine like a little girl about how the rules are unfair and I should still be in the contest 'cos I'm the best capper on SBR?

I'd would be most unfair to name individual names.

One of them was someone who has me on ignore. That would be a really tough clue if it weren't for the fact he reminds the board an average of 6.73 times per day.

Another is a poster who is a self-styled internet celebrity and claims he is one of the top 10 handicappers in the world (despite only making $100 bets). He threatened to leave until SBR changed to suit him. SBR didn't. He left. Well, in fact, he kept posting and posting for weeks about how he was just about to leave. His parting words were that the forum would collapse without him. So this forum isn't really here - we must be in the Matrix.

Hey, this is like one of the Ganch quizzes.

I figured out both by the first sentence in each paragraph. Easy puzzle.
