ARLINGTON, VA, June 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games has announced an exciting addition to their fantasy sports repertoire, unveiling their Free World Cup Bracket Game. The Bracket game begins when the FIFA World Cup Tournament starts on June 11th, 2010 in South Africa. Fantasy players can enter the World Cup Bracket Game for free and fill out their bracket to win up to $1,000 in prizes. One of the most exciting aspects of the game is that it is the exact game format of the world's largest pool game in the world, the NCAA March Madness bracket game.
Like all of Fantazzle's fantasy sports games, the World Cup Bracket Game immediately awards the winner upon the completion of the tournament. The most accurate bracket wins $700, while the second most accurate bracket wins $150. Fantazzle will also be rewarding cash prizes to players who refer the most friends and earn the most tiebreaker points during the tournament. A prize of $100 is rewarded to the fantasy player that refers the most friends and a $50 prize goes to the fantasy player that receives the most tiebreaker points.
"Fantazzle is very excited to be offering a new fantasy sports game," Fantazzle founder and CEO Ryan Parr said, "Fantazzle combines one of the world's most popular and exciting sports events, the World Cup, with the most popular game type in the US, a March Madness bracket game, with the fantasy world, while giving players opportunities to win some of the largest cash prizes Fantazzle has ever offered."
Fantazzle's World Cup Game scoring system is similar to the NCAA March Madness brackets. Each participant receives points for each winning team that they pick correctly. During group play, participants earn a point for each team they pick and rank correctly that move onto the round of 16. As you move through each round, the amount of points you receive for each win you choose correctly doubles from the previous round just like it would in March Madness bracket games.
To help protect a potentially bad World Cup bracket, fantasy players will be allowed the option of referring friends. For each friend that the general fantasy player refers to our Fantasy World Cup Game, they are awarded one point towards their overall score if that friend creates an account. Players can also immediately get involved in Fantazzle's FanStock program by playing games and earning points for each game they enter and play. Points accrued through Fantazzle's fantasy sports game promotion program called FanStock and playing games will be used to determine a winner in the event of a tie.
Through Fantazzle's refer-a-friend promotion and FanStock promotion programs, the fantasy site gives fantasy players a unique fantasy game and playing environment, along with extra chances to win.
"We know we're not the only company providing a game for the 2010 World Cup," said Parr, "However, we know what we have to offer is special. We provide the fantasy player with a great fantasy soccer game, or fantasy football game depending on your location, along with the opportunity to give themselves a better chance to win by giving them points for friend referrals."
All brackets must be in before the first World Cup tournament game between Mexico and South Africa starts on June 11th, 2010 to be eligible to win the cash prize. For a complete list of rules and game details, please visit www.Fantazzle.com.
