RotoExperts Challenges Writers

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

A lot of sites give away prizes here and there to the audience, plenty ask you to do something to earn it and pretty much any content outlet is always on the lookout for quality writing.

With its Fight for Your Write competition, RotoExperts.com is combining all of that while also encouraging folks to get as familiar as possible with its content.

Here’s the deal, RotoExperts.com is accepting article submissions up through April 2 in which contestants are asked to describe how the sites baseball draft kit helped them. One winner will get a copy of 2K Sports’ Major League Baseball 2K10, an Evan Longoria Fathead Jr. and a Buffalo Wild Wings sweatshirt. That person will also get his or her article published on RotoExperts.com.

“It certainly is a talent search,” RotoExperts’ Scott Engel told FSB.com. “One of our editors has already asked to play the role of Simon Cowell.”

Aside from providing some positive PR for the site and drawing any readers encouraged by the prizes, such a challenge can work like the old Open Pen competitions that Matthew Berry’s TalentedMrRoto.com used to host. There’s certainly no guarantee that the winner (or any entrant) turns into a regular contributor, but it’s worth a shot.

And even if that end of it doesn’t work out, it’s still fun to win some prizes, the first two of which are being provided by 2K Sports.

“Personally, I’m an avid sports gamer and wing eater, so I’m glad we’re doing this,” Engel said.

FSB Daily 2/27: Staying Social, Pay the Fan, Fantasy Agent

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

– Fantasy sports presented the best kind of social-networking before we ever started to even use that term. Tommy Landry (a “senior analyst” for RotoExperts.com) uses his Return on Now blog to explain what qualifies fantasy sports as meaningful social networking.

– Pay the Fan has partnered with the Motor Racing Network on a fantasy NASCAR competition with a $50,000 top prize. Consumers can join for free with the purchase of tickets to a qualifying Nextel Cup race.

– FantasyAgent.com — a not-yet-live site that wants participants to “sign” athletes to build best possible client portfolio — is holding an open competition for the design of its logo. About four days remain until the deadline.

FSB Daily 1/11: Fabiano vs. Ocho, WSJ, Stinkball, NBDL

Monday, January 11th, 2010

A roundup of items recently posted on the FSB News page.

– Fantasy veteran Scott Engel of RotoExperts passed along this link to Michael Fabiano’s Twit-for-tat with Chad Ochocinco in advance of the Bengals’ Week 17 matchup with the Jets. Fabiano, the lead fantasy guy for NFL.com and NFL Network, apparently drew Ocho’s Twitt-ire for having the gall to suggest sitting him against the Jets in a game the wideout ultimately came away from with zero catches.

– It’s been almost two weeks since the article first ran, but it’s still worth taking a look at Nando Di Fino’s roundup of 2009 in the world of fantasy sports.

– Stinkball.com is running a weekly game throughout the NFL playoffs in which each winner gets a football signed by San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis.

– NBA-level fantasy basketball could stand to be a little stronger, but that doesn’t mean that die hards aren’t out there. Those that fall into that category might want to check out fantasy NBDL.
