FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
COJO ILLUSTRATES FLEAFLICKER.COM - THE MOST DYNAMIC FANTASY FOOTBALL SITE TO DATE
New York, NY
Friday, July 08, 2005
Fleaflicker.com announced today that their new website will offer football fans a 100% free, fully customizable fantasy football service. The service, which will be available later this month at www.fleaflicker.com, includes several new, exclusive features: users will be able to execute multi-team trades involving players, future draft picks, or both. The site will also allow easy customization of all league options: custom scoring, rosters, tiebreakers, waiver claim systems, playoff brackets, and league sizes and alignment.
"We got tired of dealing with the shortcomings of existing fantasy football games, so we created an easy-to-use service that includes all the extras that fans really want," said Ori Schwartz, the Lead Developer and Co-Founder of Fleaflicker. "Our site is extremely user-friendly but still gives fans the power to customize everything."
Fleaflicker plans to offer its users an unlimited number of teams and leagues (both redraft and keeper), and can accommodate users of any experience level, allowing full customization for experts or standard rules for beginners. Fans that have played fantasy football elsewhere in the past can easily import their existing leagues.
"It only takes a few seconds to get started. There are no tedious, multi-page menus. Creating your own league is easy and works right from the beginning," added Schwartz.
The Fleaflicker site will also include a highly flexible custom scoring system that can accommodate virtually any requirement.
Users can choose from league sizes of up to 24 teams in multi-division formats. Fleaflicker will generate schedules that favor division games, just like a professional sports league. Also, Fleaflicker is the only service that allows leagues to customize their tiebreakers.
"We let you choose the tiebreakers for head-to-head matchups and for determining who gets into the playoffs," Schwartz said. "No other service does that. We offer the most complete range of features on the Internet."
Fleaflicker will allow users to trade away future draft picks in exchange for star players today. Multiple picks can be packaged together with players to form huge, blockbuster deals among several teams. Users can execute 3-way trades, just like in the pros. There is no limit on the number of teams involved in any one deal.
In addition, Fleaflicker will also offer the usual array of fantasy football extras. The live draft room features intelligent auto-picking for users that cannot attend the draft. Another Fleaflicker exclusive is the in-draft advisor, which coaches users through the draft and alerts them of roster deficiencies (for example, due to bye weeks). Pre-draft rankings, a waiver claim system, and message boards are all standard. And of course, live scoring will be available free of charge.
The Fleaflicker logo and other web illustrations were created by New York artist, editorial illustrator (Maxim, Vibe, Rolling Stone), and Hip-Hop portraitist Cojo, Art Juggernaut.
The full Fleaflicker website will be available by the end of July.
