Fantasy College Football and Golf Announced on DraftStreet
DraftStreet recently announced their plans for two new sports moving forward: Golf and College Football. This is an exciting addition to one of the biggest and fastest-growing sites in the industry. Here is what DraftStreet said in their release:
Fantasy Golf: Leagues will be offered starting this Monday afternoon for the PGA Championship. Scoring periods consist of one entire event, lasting four days. Draft-style will be salary cap only to start. Rosters consist of six golfers. Check out the Rules page to see scoring details.
College Football: The format will be similar to NFL except there will be an extra RB instead of DSP and passing TDs will count for 6 instead of 4 fantasy points. Only players in the big six conferences will be available and leagues will be offered when the conference season begins.
This is exciting news for the industry as a whole. The College Football game is the first true salary cap game available for College Football on a major Daily Fantasy site, and should be exciting to watch. Meanwhile, DraftStreet has done a good job with the Golf scoring system, and it should make the sport exciting to view. With NFL season around the corner, we’ll look for more updates out of DraftStreet soon.
