Corona, CA: The Official Fantasy Game of American Motocross Set for 2011 Season


MX Sports Pro Racing and Alli Introduce the "Official Fantasy Game" of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship

Hosted in Conjunction with Fantasy Action Sports League

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of American Motocross, MX Sports Pro Racing and Alli, the Alliance of Action Sports, are pleased to present the "Official Fantasy Game" of the 2011 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, hosted exclusively by the Fantasy Action Sports League (FASL). For the first time ever, fans will have the chance to win $5,000 in cash and prizes.

With the season-opening round of the 2011 season just a week-and-a-half away, the brand new fantasy game will allow fans to manage their own team of riders just like a real motocross team manager. Players are given a $120 million salary cap, with which they will select up to eight riders to fill the roster. Riders are given rankings and corresponding salary values that will fluctuate throughout the season based on their performances. Users can cut, drop or trade riders as often as they'd like throughout the summer, but they must always stay within the allotted $120 million budget.

"Fantasy Action Sports League is honored to partner with Alli Sports & MX Sports Pro Racing to become the 'Official Fantasy Game' of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship," said FASL Director of Sales and Marketing Damon George. "They truly have created the most exciting series in the world of professional motocross and have set themselves apart from the others. We are excited to have this opportunity and look forward to the upcoming 2011 season."

Founded in 2009, the FASL is the largest online action sports fantasy game aggregator and the only site giving away over $75,000 in cash and prizes to hundreds of fantasy gamers in 2011. The company's name says it all with professional games in surf, skate, snow and wake. FASL introduced an unbranded league for motocross last season, subsequently receiving a strong response, boasting 5,000 entries with little to no promotion. With the support of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship, the 2011 Fantasy Motocross League will surely generate a much greater following through a wider range of exposure via several industry partnerships.

"The Fantasy Action Sports League allows the sport of motocross to reach an entirely new demographic," said Mark Carter, GM of Strategic Partnerships for Alli Sports. "The fusion of action sports fanatics and fantasy gaming enthusiasts presents a unique growth opportunity for the sport, and provides a new and exciting way for fans to interact with the series and its athletes online."

For 2011, FASL is offering both free and pay-to-play leagues. However, in order to be eligible for a chance at the $5,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, one must register and select to either pay-per-race or pay a one-time fee for the entire season.

The 2011 Fantasy Motocross League will be hosted at the official series website at AlliSports.com. Interested players can log onto http://www.allisports.com/motocross/fantasy-motocross for details on how to register and win.
