Yes, but all predictions are made through microtransactions (we're thinking about 99 cents per prediction slot).

Re: 2016 National Tournament: University of Wisconsin
Rules are the same, the method of collecting responses will be different. With Google Forms, more complicated response validation was not possible so many responses could not be counted (because submissions did not follow rules). With the new form, your response will not show until all rules are followed.windu34 wrote:Will the format be similar to last years?bernard wrote:Prediction Contest will open Wednesday afternoon and will close Saturday morning before the tournament.

Re: 2016 National Tournament: University of Wisconsin
Is there a limit on how many microtransactions you can make? I think I'm limited cause the state says I have a "gambling addiction" or something....zyzzyva980 wrote:

Z's just making fun of fantasy sports sites (FanDuels, DraftKings, etc.). I'll post something that Sensei_Sushi made about this when I get home...kenniky wrote:Wait, isn't this gambling? Since most of us are minors, doesn't this make it illegal?
