    Hope this works out to be a challenging one, mihaita! Good mix of picking group finish orders and some straight up game winners. I am sure some will say "Wow, that's going to be so easy" but we'll see

    Is there a way we can have a betpoints contest or some other contest that doesn't rely on another sportsbook funding it? It's great that you guys opened this (thank you), I'm sure a lot of people will get involved, but some of us don't want to sign up to another sports book for these things.

    thanks.

    I won't be able to participate since SportsInteraction doesn't allow signups from the Netherlands

    Good luck on all who enter
