PicksPal, The Free Online Sports Pick Game, Proves to be More Fun / Less Complex
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 26 /EPICPR/-- Devoted football fans are expanding their horizons from strictly traditional fantasy football to include free online sports pick games like PicksPal.com. PicksPal.com is a free, weekly game providing sports fans with an opportunity to prove their superior sports IQ against friends and the rest of the nation. PicksPal.com announced thousands of players are signing up every day.
With intricate possible combinations requiring in-depth knowledge of individual player ability, fantasy football can be daunting, especially for new players. It can take an experienced player several hours to establish a fantasy football team, and even more time to manage the team from week to week. This lengthy process is seen by some as a barrier to entry, sapping the fun out of fantasy football.
PicksPal.com provides a fun and easy to use alternative to traditional fantasy sports… Starting with 1000 points each week, PicksPal members rely on real ‘Vegas style’ odds to make free picks on major sports events – including Pro Football, College Football, Baseball, Basketball and more. Setting up a PicksPal account is free, and easy – taking only a few minutes. PicksPal offers members the opportunity to participate in a variety of "friendly" social competitions and interactions, including:
* 1-on-1 Challenges: Any PicksPal member can challenge another member to weekly or ongoing challenges. The PicksPal service tracks the weekly 1-on-1 Challenges with exclusive graphical analysis.
* Leagues: PicksPal members may also play against other members by joining leagues. Members may join as many leagues as they wish.
* Friends/Bookmarks/Who's Yer Daddy?: PicksPal members can invite other members to be friends. This allows members to instantly track the progress of their friends and keep on eye on their picks. Members can also "Bookmark" other members, which allows a member to keep a competitive eye on the scores of other members without formally asking for "friendship." Finally, "Who's Yer Daddy?" tells a PicksPal member who has just surged past ahead in the rankings.
* Talkin' Smack!: A major component to the social aspect of the game, PicksPal members can taunt their friends and opponents on the Crazy Board, Smack Board, Blogs or by sending private messages. With bragging rights on the line, however, if members are going to trash talk, they better be able to back it up.
The game’s weekly leaders are updated daily and displayed on each member’s home page when they log in.
Anyone over the age of 18 can sign up for PicksPal.com here:
