A big thank you to everyone who supported this initiative over the past couple of months. When I set out, I was sure I could burn 500K SPORTS but with the level of interest, that estimate quickly changed to 1million SPORTS which I'm happy to report that we reached. The contest has also distributed in excess of a million tokens in winnings to those who took part.
The full list of burns and winners can be found below, all of which can be verified on the blockchain

You'll notice that there are still 3 rewards outstanding. The final payout should be made this evening but unfortunately, the other 2 are yet to be completed due to an ongoing technical issue with the @null / @sportspromo account. If the devs are unable to fix it then I will transfer funds in compensation to the accounts in question.
What's next?
Well the IPL starts at the end of March so I'll definitely run something for the world's biggest T20 franchise competition. I have a few ideas about what that will be, it'll almost certainly be something different from the BBL contest. Of course if the issues with the general burn and earn initiative aren't resolved by then it that will limit what I can do in regards actually removing SPORTS from circulation while simultaneously rewarding those who take part.
I'm also thinking of running an IPL fantasy league where points scored are rewarded with SPORTS. Let me know in the comments if you are interested in taking part in such a contest.
