I am thinking about starting fantasy sports leagues within SL.

If you don't know what a fantasy sports league is it works like this:
Players pick a dream team from all active players for a certain championship (say the NBA) and then for every game played they recieve points based how well the players in their dream team perform. The object of the fantasy league being to have the most points at the end of the season.

My question is: if I charge an entry fee to enter can I offer prizes to the winner of the fantasy league or would that break gambling laws?

I have read the knowledge base but am still not sure as it isn't strictly wagering on a real life sports event and does take quite a bit of skill to make the right player selections (just like a talent scout). So I'm looking for other peoples opinions.
