  • The article seems to lack independent sources and seems to be too much a recitation of the contest rules, contrary to WP:GAMEGUIDE. It seems quite promising in other respects so please try to find some independent coverage. Andrew Davidson (talk) 14:02, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
  • unfortunately the article seems to borrow a lot of content from the Ring it Up! article, which is okay, but the DYK criteria specify that a new article does not "consist of text spun off from a pre-existing article". if more outside sources and content could be found i think it could be a solid hook; however, i don't think a lot of coverage will be available this early in the season. ~ Boomur [talk] 20:55, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
