Canadians not eligible for prizes in yahoo ???
I've been playing fantasy hockey on yahoo in free leagues for many years now. This year, i told myself i would try and challenge in a pro league on yahoo... 20$.. can win 125 $
The problem is when i read the rules... it says Canadians are not eligible to win prizes !!!
I live in Quebec, Canada.
Am i missing something here ?
Thanks !

It does not specify Quebec ... just "residants of Canada". So i was wondering... all players of the pro game are americans ???

only residents of certain states in the US are eligible to play...
sorry canadiens.
I have no clue then. It seems kind of silly, and the only thing I can think of would be because of the money conversion. But in times like today, converting money between American and Canadian is not very difficult. So perhaps our gambling laws are more strict...? It is technically a form of gambling.
" You said you don't give a f*ck about hockey. I've never heard anyone say that before."
theres also a long list of states that cannot participate as well ......so dont sweat it .
