Worldwinner 1099-misc- Is there any way to itemize deductions of cash entry fees for worldwinner?

I received a 1099- misc tax statement from Worldwinner. I am wondering if I am able to deduct the cash entry fees associatied with my losses. Worldwinner, from what I understand, is not noted to be lottery or gambling. Thanks

I'm in the same boat. I checked it out and apparantly if you want to deduct your losses, you have to fill out a Schedule C like you are a business and deduct your losses as business expenses. Seems silly but that's the way I was told to do it.
