FanDuel on Tuesday announced a new baseball contest leading up to another live-event final in Las Vegas.
The FanDuel Fantasy Baseball Bracket Championship starts tonight with the first of 64 qualifying tournaments. Tuesday’s qualifiers start at $3 entry and run up to $300 with size of the fields contracting as the cost for an entry rises. Participants are allowed 25 entries in the $3 and $10 qualifiers; the $25, $100 and $300 contests will be single-entry only.
After the field of 64 is set, competitors will square off in bracket-style, head-to-head contests with the finalists advancing to the championship on Aug. 22 in Las Vegas, one day before the World Fantasy Baseball Championship.
First prize is $60,000 and all 64 qualifiers are guaranteed at least $1,500.
