Announcing the FantasyAces $250,000 Basketball Championship Live Final in San Diego
Aliso Viejo, Calif. – December 8, 2015 – FantasyAces.com, a leader in the rapidly growing multi-billion Daily Fantasy Sports industry, announced today that it will host a live NBA championship event with a quarter-million dollar prize pool.
The $250,000 FantasyAces Basketball Championship will take place on March 26, 2016, with 20 finalists competing in a live one-day fantasy NBA contest for a $100,000 grand prize.
Qualifying events will commence on Friday, December 11, 2015, with a 500-seat, $55 multi-entry contest entry contest. Subsequent qualifiers will take place each week of the NBA season until the March 2016 live final. FantasyAces will also offer satellites in other sports that provide customers the opportunity to win qualifier tickets at a value price.
In November, FantasyAces hosted a $100,000 College Football live event DFS championship in Newport Beach, Calif., and this weekend 40 finalists will travel to Southern California for the company’s $500,000 NFL live event.
“We’re excited to announce our NBA live final in San Diego,” explains co-founder Trent Frisina. “Between the harbor cruise, the rooftop reception at Hard Rock and the VIP party at Striders, we’ve created an incredible weekend for our finalists, and the $250,000 prize pool demonstrates significant growth over our 2015 live basketball championship. We have a rapidly expanding database of loyal users who love chasing these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.”
The $250,000 prize pool is more than double the company’s previous NBA live final in March 2015, which paid out $100,000 in total prizes. In addition to huge cash prizes, FABC qualifiers and their guests will enjoy luxury accommodations at Hard Rock San Diego.
The festivities will begin with an extravagant harbor cruise aboard a private motor yacht with open bar and gourmet appetizers. Then, the finalists will enjoy an exclusive Reception Party at FLOAT, the Hard Rock’s wildly popular rooftop bar and lounge that features breathtaking downtown San Diego views.
The live championship party will take place at Striders, a massive two-story sports bar with signature craft cocktails and beers, delicious Southern California cuisine and dozens of high definition televisions with every minute of NBA game action. The suite will be equipped with an array of high-definition widescreen monitors so qualifiers can watch every snap of NBA action.
In addition to the $100,000 grand prize, the FABC live final winner will be upgraded to a Hard Rock suite on Saturday night.
“Our live finals continue to get bigger and better,” comments FantasyAces co-founder Bryan Frisina. “We are focused on delivering an unforgettable experience for every qualifier, and the FABC in San Diego will be a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Founded in 2012 by Tom Frisina and sons Trent and Bryan, FantasyAces opened for daily gameplay in March 2013. The Frisinas focus on providing unmatched customer service and creating proprietary contest offerings such as SalaryPro
TM, which features a flexible salary cap for a uniquely exciting daily fantasy sports experience.
One of only three DFS operators to host live event championships, FantasyAces hosted its first live final in November 2014, a $100,000 Football championship event. In 2015, the company held a $100,000 NBA championship in March, a $250,000 MLB championship in August at Angel Stadium, a $100,000 College Football live final in November and a $500,000 NFL live championship in December.
