Fantasy Sports Comes to the GDHL

We are excited to announce the inaugural Fantasy GDHL season for 2020! This new, fun, interactive game will be played using wits and strategy over the entire season. If you have ever played fantasy sports, you will enjoy this! Here is a summary of the rules and goals.

The Fantasy League is open to EVERYONE, both GDHL racers and prospectors. At the Calcutta, each participant will choose eight team members from the GDHL race league to build their own unique team. There is no draft per se, as each participant may choose any racer to join their team. Over the entire season, points are aggregated by the following factors:

Point differential
Race Starts
Race Finishes
Podium Finishes in age/gender category (Men’s Overall, Women’s Overall, Men over 55, Women over 55)

Once you have chosen your team (we will have forms to complete), hand in your hand-picked team to our booth. Entrance fee is a $10 per team, and there is no limit to how many teams you may submit. Payout will be a pot split accordingly 70% to winner, 20% to second place, 10% to third place, and announced at the end of year banquet

As I am sure you can tell, there will be lots going on at the Calcutta this year, so make sure you register to race ASAP, and prepare yourself for a night of fun and friends on January 4th.
