Several weeks ago, we announced the launch of our first ever fantasy football application - FanSection Fantasy Football 2009. Since then, we’ve seen fantastic growth with over 300K installed users and a subscriber base that is growing every day as the season approaches. And today we’re excited to launch our second installation of fantasy football - the $20K Football Challenge.
The $20K Football Challenge is a salary cap style game that allows users to play in a variety of fantasy football pools by purchasing virtual currency via our partnerships with TrialPay and Peanut Labs. At the same time, the game is unique because it also allows those same users to win real cash prizes in certain pools. The lead game is a tournament that gives user the opportunity to walk away with $20,000.
The game is definitely one of a kind on Facebook as there are no other virtual currency fantasy football games on the platform. And the tournament is a completely new take on the standard salary cap pool with users duking it out in 32 individual 200 person pools with the winner advancing to bracket play against other pool winners. Each pool is named after an NFL team, so football fans get the added benefit of representing their favorite team in the FanSection Bowl bracket.
