Are you the King of the Pitch ?

The $150,000 Fantasy Football World Championship

When DraftKings entered the UK Daily Fantasy Football scene we expected prize money to sky rocket. Well, it looks like that is about happen after DraftKings announced their King of the Pitch contest, in which $150,000 will be up for grabs on May 15th.

They are running a series of qualifiers, so your goal is to earn one of the 50 available seats and a shot at the $25,000 first prize. Qualifying events are being staged prior to the big finale covering daily Premier League slate with buy-ins ranging from $3 to $300. There are also satellites events available that will enable you to win a seat to one of the qualifying events – the buys in for these have been set as low as $2.

If you qualify for the final event, which will feature all of the English Premier League games played on Sunday 15th May, you will be guaranteed a minimum return of $1,000, with the prize-money increasing in increments, depending on your actual finishing position.
