Fantasy Sports Takes on a New Dimension With Vyvor and More Than $10,000 in Prizes

HATBORO, Pa., Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sports Network, as it continues to expand its role as a preferred content delivery partner within the fantasy business community, announced today its partnership with Micron Global of New York in presentation of its dynamic fantasy game.  "We have taken the best of the worlds of fantasy and survivor," indicated a spokesperson for TSN, "and merged them in Vyvor, a brand new approach to the popular past-time of fantasy sports.  As our marketing says, 'There's a new game in town' and it is designed to test the skills of fantasy participants by lessening the choices of their player selections and evaluating whether those selections will maintain survivor status in a season long game, albeit not available until this, the third week of the season." 

"Participants have an early 'feel' for the skill players on the NFL teams by our waiting until this week to begin," he added, "and we are fine with that.  Just think, a $25 entry fee and more than $10,000 to the last survivor with additional prizes as best scores evolve weekly." 

Vyvor Sports (www.vyvor.com), is the market brand created by Micron Global and The Sports Network combining the best facets of traditional fantasy as well as the elimination strategy of survivor games. Participants can enter as many times as they wish at the outset at $25 per team per season.  The basic tenet is that competitors/users select four players each week (one each from a different team at quarterback, running back, wide receiver/tight end and kicker), but, once chosen on a particular entry, those players cannot be selected a second time.  "That is why," added TSN's spokesperson, "most people enter two or three times, sometimes more.  They are covering their options."

Weekly prizes are provided by Steiner Sports Memorabilia and will go to the entry with the most points for that week.  Tie-breakers are in place in the event of such an occurrence.

"In essence, Vyvor is a unique and competitive game, that blends the best aspects of fantasy, survivor and social networking," concluded a marketing source from Micron Global, "and we have been able to integrate the content and creativity of The Sports Network within our own efforts to provide everything that players need to get that edge they are seeking each week."

The bottom line for Vyvor is that traditional fantasy points are accumulated each week with a weekly first place prize of memorabilia from Steiner Sports. And, at the end of the regular NFL season one lucky, or talented, person will receive the $10,000 grand prize as well as a trip for two to Las Vegas including air fare and hotel accommodations.
