It's interesting to note that they haven't posted in this thread yet, as I'm sure some of their clanmates who frequent here would have told them about it. It would also be nice if we could get a statement from the leader of SPR about their participation in their community, be it constructive or not.

In all fairness it's not really a community open if the people who win it are not part of the community...Then again there are those who participate and are not part of the community as well.

Why would anyone want to take up their own time to play in a TOURNAMENT for no reward? That's the entire purpose of playing.

It may just be humble ol' me but the spirit of the competition and it gives a brilliant chance to learn from better players. To be fair the BSG doesn't have a financial reward, unless you count qualification to the BSG cup, which is unfortunately now discontinued.
