Today, I’d like to announce that I’ll be participating in the 6th Annual RotoBowl Tournament over at RosterDoc.com. RotoBowl is setup a lot like your normal Fantasy Football league, but it’s a National Tournament with a grand prize of $27,500, which includes 2 tickets to this year’s Superbowl in Dallas.

There are only a handful of National tournaments for Fantasy Football and, at $259, RotoBowl’s entry fee is by far the lowest.

NFL players and television personalities we know and love will be competing in the tournament. Ray Rice (the 2010 RosterDoc Commissioner) and Stephen A. Smith (check out his endorsement video on the website) will take part this season.

If you’d like to compete against myself, Ray Rice, Stephen A. Smith, etc. in this year’s RotoBowl Tournament, head over to RosterDoc.com and sign up. Once you’re in, you’ll be placed in a random league of 12 competitors, where you’ll compete for individual league prizes, which includes $900 cash to the winner. From there, all participants are eligible to compete for the aforementioned Grand Prize, which is awarded based on your team’s performance throughout the season, with an emphasis on weeks 15-16.

Drafts begin on September 5th, so be sure to get signed up as soon as possible. You can draft your team online (like I will be) or live in Atlantic City on the 11th.

I doubt you need any more reason to get signed up, but here are some additional facts about the RotoBowl competition. Over $100,000 in prizes are awarded and 1 out of every 3 teams will win a prize of some sort. Each team’s roster will include 20 players, 11 of which are starters. The large starting lineup (it includes 2 flex spots) is another feature that attracted me to this Tournament. Anyone can pick a few studs in the first 5 rounds, happen to catch those players in career seasons, and ride that to a league championship. The 11-man starting lineup means you really have to know what you’re doing to compete for the Grand Prize. The scoring is pretty straightforward, but it’s worth noting that it is a point per reception (PPR) league.

RotoBowl isn’t the only contest you can partake in at RosterDoc.com . They also offer Loaded Salary Cap and other weekly games. I highly recommend you head over to the site and check them all out.

My plan here is to update all of you throughout my RotoBowl journey. Later this week, I’ll have my gameplan for the draft ready to go and I’ll share it with all of you. I’ll also be doing a post-draft recap in a few weeks and I’ll make some predictions for my league. From there, check back throughout the season for updates on my progress in my quest for the Grand Prize.
