ASHEVILLE, NC — (Marketwire) — 05/05/09 — Real McCoy Fantasy Sports, based in Asheville, North Carolina, recently launched a demo version of its newest fantasy football contests on Stinkball.com. StinkBall features a unique approach to the fantasy football genre. Instead of building a team with the best fantasy football players like most traditional fantasy football games, Stinkball members are challenged to choose players they believe will play their worst this season. Once you have completely organised your fantasy football team, the member who best predicts the worst performances during the season wins.
Stinkball.com is the innovative vision of Real McCoy Fantasy Sports CEO Jason McCoy. Real McCoy Fantasy Sports is a member of the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. “I am a fantasy football diehard,” states McCoy. “I know there are other fantasy sports fanatics out there looking for something new and challenging to play. According to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, approximately 27.1 million people in the U.S. participate in fantasy sports and generate an estimated 800 million dollars in revenue. Stinkball.com is for the seasoned fantasy football player that wants to execute a tougher, more difficult strategy and strengthen another level of fantasy football skill,” McCoy continues.
Gibby McCaleb, NFL Analyst and COO of Accuscore.com, is a fantasy sports fanatic and believes the Stinkball concept will be a welcome addition for regular fantasy football lovers. “There are so few new concepts in Fantasy Sports,” McCaleb states. “It is great to see something exciting like Stinkball come along. I am looking forward to playing this season.” Accuscore is a leader in sports forecasting and offers a wide variety of tools for predicting outcomes in all major sports including the NBA, NHL, NFL and more.
Stinkball.com visitors currently have the opportunity to explore the online demo of the fantasy football contests (contests are expected to be fully functional by the beginning of the 2009 NFL regular season) and register to become a member. Members can now receive regular updates about contests and website developments, as well as purchase fantasy football teams that will compete for season, weekly, and combined prizes of between $1,000 and $10,000. Stinkball.com is offering a number of early bird discounts each month until August 2009. Members that sign up and purchase teams now can receive a significant discount until the end of May 2009.
