I have managed to take part in only my first Splinterlands (Steemmonsters) tournament this week. I haven't won anything, but it was fun. I have decided to create and sponsor a tournament for novice / bronze league players.

If you want to try Gridcoin, for beginners I recommend using pool. Instructions. This way you do not need any upfront investment. 75% of newly minted coins are distributed for scientific contributions.
You can sign up for the tournament here. Saturday 11/05/2019 at 7pm BST.
If there is enough interest and if I will be able to afford it, I will create another tournament in the near future. If you want to support this idea, feel free to upvote and follow.
