$1,000 Tournament Tonight for Sheridan Hoops Readers
With a baker’s dozen of NBA games on tap, there are plenty of great choices for Friday leagues and tournaments. Join ours, with a $5 entry fee and a total of $1,000 in cash prizes — $200 for first place.
Another big event costs $10 to enter. It’s a qualifying tournament for the Daily Fantasy Basketball Championship, with $5,000 in cash prizes, including $1,000 for finishing second. The winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas and one of 15 seats in the $150,000 DFBBC final. Finishing last there is worth $1,500 cash.
Biggest difference between the two tournaments is the number of entries. Our event is limited to 220 teams and you can enter up to three times, with a chance at multiple prizes. The DFBBC qualifier allows 1,900 entries, one per person. I’m in both, and you’re invited to challenge me.
