I tried entering for my mom when I started, but I was worried her having a different home address would DQ me. Turned out that was a lie told by the "one entry, NO exceptions" crowd :nono:
Too much misinformation mixed in with tons of good info was my intro to sweeping. I MUCH prefer people leave their opinions/prejudices at home when "helping" you know? :laughing:
As far as who I enter for? Mostly myself, but I help out my guys when needed - my husband works crazy hours (7 on before he gets 1, 2 1/2, or 4 days off) so I check all the new sweeps for limits (per HH, 21+, license, etc) and bookmark in FF the ones they can enter.
IMHO, the sponsors are more concerned with people entering numerous times for themselves, with multiple email addys, than if mom or dad enters for their kids/spouses/etc.
Like anything, there is potential for abuse - like entering everyone in your neighborhood, all your family/friends, etc.
Letting other sweepers know that the rules say 1 per HH is a LOT different than telling other sweepers they are breaking the rules if they enter for someone else in their HH. Most people will be afraid to admit they do, thinking they could be DQ'ed, or that others would disapprove :crazytongue:
