You have your golden days back then Mate, as you are winning back to back in categories that you are participating actually each event conducted almost monthly , I kept looking for your name in the top of winners 
but now that you seems to be busy in your day job, at least you can still participate and trying your best to be a top winner.
and I must admit that those members that continue joining are now getting better and better and yes , those are the one turns winning these past events .
I mean it's really not that good to have your only thing to win neither, but the money is too nice so people would prefer that. On one side you have getting money but being the only one and that means you didn't really beat anyone to get that money, so that part should not be a nice feeling, it would be a lot better if you beat others to get that money, but you also at least get some money, on the other side you get to compete against others and if you beat them then you are doing great but at that chance there is a possibility you are not getting the money for it if you lose. but now that you seems to be busy in your day job, at least you can still participate and trying your best to be a top winner.
and I must admit that those members that continue joining are now getting better and better and yes , those are the one turns winning these past events .
This means that some people may prefer the money, some people may prefer to compete, it's not going to be the same thing for every person out there.
