Anyone hear about this? There was an article in ESPN mag a few months ago. It sounds like it might be the next big thing since fantasy football.
The premise is simple, pick one team to win each week. If they win, you go on to the next week, if they lose, you lose. Once you pick a team one, you cannot use them again. The one or ones who make it to the end win. You can have as many guys you want in it and decide how much the entry fee is.In the article from ESPN the guy was involved in a league with players from all over the country. It may have been like $100 or more to enter and I think it had either 500 to 1000 people in it. That is some serious cash for the winner and in this case there were 7 or 8 who made it to the end.
