FanDuel has announced its first-ever FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship, which will pay out more than $50,000 in total prize money and send 10 weekly winners to Las Vegas to vie for a $25,000 top prize.
Registration for the championship is now open at www.fanduel.com and will continue through the first 10 weeks of the NFL season.
Participants in the FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship create one-weekend fantasy football teams for a single weekend’s games. With no season-long commitment, players can enter as many teams as they like, as many times as they like, through the first 10 weeks of the NFL regular season. Each entry costs $10.
The winner of each weekly competition will earn an expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, where the 10 players will participate in an intense, single-day draft on Dec. 5. The person whose fantasy team scores the most points at the end of that day will receive the $25,000 grand prize.
“Fantasy sports’ biggest season deserves its best championship event,” said FanDuel CEO Nigel Eccles. “We’re bringing our exceptional online experience together with a dramatic, in-person showdown in Las Vegas to see who will win $25,000 and the ultimate in fantasy football bragging rights.”
In addition to the top prize of $25,000, the championship’s second-place finisher will take home $10,000 and the third-place finisher will receive $5,000. The FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship also will award $1,350 every week to top runner-up finishers, bringing the total prize pool to more than $50,000.
The FanDuel Fantasy Football Championship is a weekly draft fantasy football tournament with two rounds. There will be 10 separate first rounds running weekly from week 1 through week 10 of the NFL season.
Each week players may enter the competition by drafting teams under the salary cap, and each week the entrant whose team scores the most fantasy points will secure a place in the final.
The final will take place in Las Vegas on Sunday, Dec. 5th. There will be 10 finalists, one from each of the weeks 1 through 10. Finalists will receive an expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas to play in the final. The prize includes flights, transfer, two nights’ accommodations at the Venetian Las Vegas, Saturday night dinner and party, entry into the final and $500 in spending money.
