Fellow blogger Alex Zelvin has started up a new fantasy website, called
Draftbug.com. Draftbug offers daily fantasy sports contests for real money or play money.
Last week, Draftbug opened its first baseball contest of the season. It's a $100 freeroll contest, open to the first 200 entrants (116 spots are filled so far). The top 20 places will win cash prizes, with 1st place getting $24. Registration for the site and the contest are free! Unlike most Draftbug contests, which only last one day, the freeroll involves picking a team of 10 hitters within a salary cap prior to the start of the season. Points will be scored based on how many home runs your team hits during the month of April. More baseball contests will be opened later this week.
At the starting price of free, I don't see how you could pass this up. I've tooled around the site a bit, and everything seems very straight forward and intuitive to use. I love having an alternative to standard fantasy leagues, especially ones where it's you versus the world. See you at
Draftbug.com!
