Full Tilt Poker announces fantasy poker league

June 30th, 2007

In one of the more innovative promotions offered by a poker room this summer, Full Tilt Poker has announced the launch of their Fantasy Poker League, a competition that allows players to select a team from the Full Tilt roster of poker pros, and then to match that team against the teams of other FTP account holders.

The point system is fairly basic, awarding points based directly on dollar wins, and the limiting of the field to Full Tilt pros takes some of the fun out of it, but it’s certainly an interesting template for what will no doubt be popular poker subculture in years to come.

Winners receive Full Tilt gear and tournament entries, with the grand prize being entry into a land-based tournament worth $10,000.
