ESPN Chicago Partners with SportsLock to Present the Largest Fantasy Football Bracket Ever

CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SportsLock, the inventor of the Fantasy Sports Bracket, has partnered with ESPN Chicago to present The Big Game Challenge. With 1,024 entrants, The Big Game Challenge fantasy football Bracket will be the biggest in history.

Presented by ESPN Chicago and hosted on the SportsLock app, The Big Game Challenge will run from week 8 (Oct 29) – week 17 (Jan 4) of the football season. The champion receives two tickets, hotel, and airfare to the big game on February 7, 2016.
