Hello all you sports-loving Steemians, and welcome back to another edition of the World of Sports community writing contest report. This week, we had several posts made inside the community. Sadly, we can only have three winners. Thank you to all who participated!

The community has also recently started a weekly, two-round contest called the Steemit Sports Parlay. If you haven't had a chance to check it out yet, know that the prize pool has been pretty strong for a few weeks and now includes a beneficiary bonus prize. Make sure to check that out!

As always, links to this week's articles and the contest rules are also below. There have been some slight adjustments, but everything is pretty much the same as before, with the exception of the prize pool, as we've now added a beneficiary percentage reward (to be given to all future first-place winners) as well.

The new week is open for submissions!

First place now comes with a portion of the rewards on these posts...which means this week @damithudaya has earned a 10% beneficiary prize.

RULES OF THE CONTEST: NEED TO BE FOLLOWED 100%!!!

We're starting our writing contest back up here on The World of Sports, the contest will run every week moving forward, and will involve doing four simple things.

1. Write something about sports. It does not matter what you write if the topic is sports-related. The article must be at least 200 words, with no plagiarism and no obvious/bad AI writing. We're looking for original content...that's what's most important here.

2. The article MUST contain the tag #worldofsports along with the other tags you choose to use. The article also needs to have | The World of Sports at the end of the title.

3. We ASK that you RE-STEEM this, BUT YOU MUST UPVOTE THIS POST!!!

4. You MUST subscribe to the The World of Sports!

That's it...If you do those four things, you'll be entered into the contest.

**It's not a requirement, but any beneficiary percentages should be set to @hive-199189. While you do not have to donate a percentage, it will help grow the community and give larger upvote rewards in the future.

Winners will be decided by overall worthiness and following directions. You can enter/write more than once, but only your best post counts!

The prizes are as follows:

1st Place = 5 SP & 5 SBI (@Steembasicincome) credits
2nd Place = 3 SP & 3 SBI
3rd Place = 1 SBI

**As an added bonus, to encourage more posts in our community, all future first-place winners will receive a 10% beneficiary bonus from these posts each week, starting now!

SBI = SteemBasicIncome <---click that link if you don't know about them, pretty good project that adds to your upvote totals!

*Some weeks, we may alternate using @UVF credits & STEEM (SP) as well.

• ALL articles will be featured in the 'Steemit Sports Report' when it's posted.

We'll base how long the contest will last on how much user involvement we see.

You can start posting eligible articles NOW!!!

Follow the rules above to ensure your entry in the weekly contest! GOOD LUCK!
