uWink greeted the football season with the download of its current Sports Club Network offering, Fantasy Football. Starting immediately, uWink players and sports fans will be able to draft their fantasy football teams on uWink terminals by choosing from a list of professional football players. Players pick new line-ups every week and accumulate points based on real NFL players' performance. Points are awarded for passing, rushing or receiving yards, for touchdowns, field goals, safeties, defensive touchdowns and point-after-touchdowns. Every player's highest scoring team for each week will be added to his or her Season Standing.
The top 50 national and local scores for the weekly and season standings will be displayed on uWink terminals as well as on the Company's website at www.uwink.com. These Leaderboards will be updated each Friday. At the close of football season, uWink will award a virtual trophy to the football guru who tops the National Leaderboard. Virtual trophies will be awarded to the winners of each Local Leaderboard as well.
"For the first time in the history of coin-op, operators can profit from the multi-million dollar business of Fantasy Football," said Todd Cravens, Executive Vice President of Operations. "There is no better place to take advantage of Fantasy Football than in sports bars and taverns. Games are always being shown in these locations, and many of our players love Fantasy Sports. This is yet another revenue stream that can only come from being connected to the uWink network."
Official rules are posted on uWink terminals and on the Company's website at
