I revised the article and removed a lot of promotional info. One controversial edit is removing the names of the myriad companies that are listed. I think the general rule of thumb should be that we should mention the largest companies, since they get the more press coverage, but that we not mention all the niche players unless 1) they are doing something truly unique AND 2) they are notable per WP guidelines, i.e. they are getting extensive media coverage. Generally I interpret this the same way the AfC guidelines are set up for company articles. If what they are doing warrants them a company article, it's a no-brainer to include a summary mention of them in this article as well. I'd even consider adding info about their uniqueness to the history section, depending on what they do. Hopefully this way we can control SPAM.
As far as the section listing daily fantasy sports, I invite anyone interested to add a high level summary of each of those sports so that cricket isn't the only one that has detail. The sections just need to be broken out. I should probably intra-Wiki link to the individual sports' pages, if they exist. Timtempleton ( talk) 07:44, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

I will be picking up the review of this one - both for the Wiki Cup and the GA cup as well. I will be making my review comments over the next couple of days.
Side note, I would love some input on a Featured List candidate ( Mexican National Light Heavyweight Championship) and a Featured Article candidate ( CMLL World Heavyweight Championship). I am not asking for Quid pro Quo, but all help is appreciated. MPJ -US 22:34, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
I like to get this checked out first, I have found issues using this that has led to quick fails so it's important this passes muster.
