Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 1, 2005

Summer is here and the football frenzy is heating up. It’s also that time when office productivity goes down as many millions of Americans become preoccupied with entering leagues and making player picks – all a part of playing fantasy football. And with the launch of Players Challenge Fantasy Football (http://www.playerschallenge.com) the season is only going to get hotter. With an easy-to-play yet challenging format and some of the highest payouts in the industry including the super grand prize of $50,000 Players Challenge is the game that every football aficionado and sports fan will want to play.

The Players Challenge format caters to all players: beginners, casual players and die-hard fantasy fanatics. Among the unique features of Players Challenge is each fantasy team owner will choose between two offenses each week. Each team owner has a $40 million salary cap from which they will select their fantasy players. This format contributes to an even-level playing field among all participants. “This is definitely one of the most unique and challenging fantasy football games out there,” stated co-founder George Luengus. He adds, “It’s so simple to play and yet it involves so much more skill than most other fantasy football games. We’ve eliminated the dumb-luck factor and the unfairness that pervades most draft-and-trade style of games.”

Working with some of the leading, independent fantasy football advisors and writers Players Challenge also offers valuable content and articles for its fantasy participants, making the site a one-stop-shop for everyone’s fantasy football needs. In addition, anyone can ask a fantasy football question to the resident expert, Amber Sym. During the season she will offer her weekly player picks and commentary.

To play Players Challenge teams start at low $19.95. Multiple teams can be purchased at discounts and those who purchase 4 teams receive a free Pro Football Extreme Gameday Trivia board game (itself a $29.95 value).

Company co-founders, Michael Wong and George Luengus, have over 20 years experience as fantasy football participants and league organizers. Company president Michael Wong states, “Over the years there’s been a proliferation of fantasy sites as the popularity of fantasy sports has grown. However, somewhere along the way simplicity and ease-of-use were forgotten. We created a fantasy football game site where everyone can play a competitive and fun game all football-season long with top prizes.”

According to a study by Online Publishers Association (OPA) and ComScore Networks, fantasy sports content was part of the second-fastest growing category of online content spending in 2003. According to FSTA (Fantasy Sports Trade Association) the fantasy football market alone totaled more than $100 million in 2004. There were an estimated 20 million people who played fantasy sports in 2004, and FSTA estimates that number to exceed 25 million in 2005.
