Celebrity Watchers Have a Fantasy League of Their Own at TABFL.com

Celebrity Watchers Have a Fantasy League of Their Own at TABFL.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Time Out! Fantasy leagues aren't just for sports anymore. Now all who enjoy that great American pastime of celebrity watching can indulge their guilty pleasure and competitive spirit at http://www.tabloidfantasyleague.com/ (http://www.tabfl.com/).

TABFL.com is a new celebrity tabloid fantasy league modeled a bit like traditional sports fantasy games. TABFL "fameologists" have compiled an extensive database of stats on approximately 2,900 of America's favorite celebrities. The stats are gathered weekly from TABFL's "Big Four" magazines: People, In Touch, Us Weekly and Star. Celebrities are ranked and scored based on the number of times their photos appear in the magazines, and members use these stats to rank, draft and manage their celebrity dream teams and weekly game selections.

TABFL has debuted two games: FaceFecta and TabFecta. FaceFecta is a takeoff of horse racing's "trifecta" where fans select the first three finishers of a race in exact order. In FaceFecta players predict the celebs who they think will grace the covers of the "Big Four" magazines each week. Winners are eligible for prizes like iPod Nanos and Coach bags.

TABFL's second game, TabFecta, lets members test their coaching and strategizing skills by drafting and managing their own fantasy team of twelve celebrity "players." Points are scored each time a celebrity "player" appears in the "Big Four," but there are also point deductions for things like an appearance on a "worst dressed" list.

For those team managers who would be tempted to draft and play only the more notable Brads or Angelinas, TabFecta draft rules have been designed to even the playing field. Each team must consist of at least two actors, one model, one musician, two men and six wildcard choices. Each week TABFL members manage their team rosters by selecting eight of their twelve celebs to hit the "red carpet" playing field. TabFecta's season is one month long, but the games are played weekly as new issues of the magazines hit the newsstands.

Team drafts, starting rosters and cover picks must be submitted by Tuesday at midnight prior to the "Big Four" hitting newsstands or online outlets. TABFL members can check FaceFecta results on Friday by noon and TabFecta results on Sunday by noon (PST).
