Just did! :D Our pack, IDITABUDS.COM, has 7 teams/entrants at the moment. Go to https://www.finnmarkslopet.no/home/ (click on the British flag in the upper right-hand corner for English) to see past results for each musher.

I am having the same problem as I did with the Iditarod Fantasy. The list of mushers hops up and down the page. I've managed to grab 3 of the needed 7 mushers but trying to get the click to work is annoying. OK here I go again.....

Okay. I'm in as well. Fdf, the flow is strange, to me at least. For this and I'rod, it was back and forth, back and forth between picking the race, adding a musher, returning to the dashboard, and viewing the list. I don't remember all the hoops in previous years. For some reason, though, I made my picks and the money balanced up easily--unlike picking this year's I'rod mushers.

OK. Spent my money and have 7 mushers. But the page still bounced a lot. Picked by $$$$ except the first 3.

mira, why are there ? marks in some of the names?

I had trouble too. Just the Finnmarkslopet, not the Iditarod. Strange. I think it loads really slow, so give the page time to catch up after you scroll up/down.

Heidi, sometimes it won't scroll, maybe I will wait next time, if I remember that trick. And then when it does scroll it goes all the way to the bottom of the page where there is no list near.

Oh well, I have my 7, who some of them are I have not a clue. :lol:

Yes Heidi I'm in the Iditabuds.com group.

The ? in the names are probably your browser (or perpahs the encoding at the sites not beeing correctly) not having installed a character encoding called UTF-8 (it might be perhaps latin-1 (iso-8859-1)). Norwegian alphabeth have three more letters than english, Æ(æ), Ø(ø) and Å(å), so the computers use a different system for representing them. Especial æ is possible to find in UK English some places, but then written as ae. If we are a place with only english alpabeth, we will write it as æ = ae, ø = oe and å = aa.

Løp means race by the way, and Finnmark is the name of the county the race is in, the race is crossing big parts of Finnmark county.
