BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – B.A.S.S. has announced the addition of a third fantasy game, the T-H Marine Bassmaster Pick ’Em Challenge, to the lineup that already included the Rapala Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing Challenge and Falcon Rods Bassmaster Drain the Lake Challenge. Like the other fantasy games, playing is free and thousands of dollars in prizes are up for grabs.
"We are super-excited to add a third Fantasy Game to an already stellar lineup of games," said B.A.S.S. Executive Editor, Digital Kyle Jessie. "The T-H Marine Bassmaster Pick ’Em Challenge is an extremely easy game to play and requires players to do no homework prior to each event. Simply pick one angler from each of the head-to-head matchups and let it ride!
"The pick ’em style of game has become increasingly popular amongst Fantasy sports, so it made perfect sense to add this game to the lineup," said Jessie. "For each event there will be seven matchups selected based on interesting, and sometimes silly, storylines."
The Pick ’Em rules are simple:
> Players will be faced with seven head-to-head matchups between two anglers. Pick ’Em players will choose one of the two anglers offered.
> To secure a point, the player must select the angler that finishes highest between the two anglers.
> For each matchup the participant guesses correctly, they will be awarded one point with a maximum of seven total points for each event.
> In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by the player who guesses the winning weight (or closest to) for the winner of the tournament.
"The Bassmaster Pick ’Em Challenge is such a fun concept, and we at T-H Marine are proud to be the title sponsor,” said Marketing Director Shana Christie. “It's a simple game that adds another layer of excitement and competition to the Bassmaster tournaments. We can't wait to see how viewers engage with it and who comes out on top.”
All Bassmaster Fantasy Games are now live and you can play them at Bassmasterfantasy.com. The Elite Series kicks off Feb. 20.
