Baha Mar has announced that the resort will be collaborating with ESPN Fantasy Football to host the first ESPN Fantasy Football Ultimate Draft Weekend at Baha Mar in August.
The event will feature ESPN Fantasy Football experts Field Yates, Stephania Bell, Mike Clay and Daniel Dopp. Guests at Baha Mar will have the opportunity to meet the experts throughout the weekend, participate in a Q&A session and receive detailed draft analysis from them leading up to a live draft on August 24.
"We're thrilled to work with ESPN Fantasy Football to host the inaugural ESPN Fantasy Football Ultimate Draft Weekend at Baha Mar this August," Baha Mar President Graeme Davis said.
"ESPN Fantasy Football is the most popular game in the world of fantasy sports and, like Baha Mar, loves to bring people together for amazing, world-class fan experiences. We look forward to welcoming the different leagues to our fabulous resort and putting forth spectacular experiences for them to enjoy during our upcoming draft weekend."
The event will be managed by bdG Sports, which helps host Baha Mar Hoops each November, as well as owns and operates two Korn Ferry Tour professional golf tournaments in the Bahamas each January.
"Every year, fantasy football leagues around the world gather with their friends and family to kick off the season," ESPN Senior Director of Marketing for Fantasy and Sports Betting Alexander Healy-Lucciola said.
"The draft is one of the best days of the year, bringing everyone together to choose their teams and play out league traditions. Partnering with Baha Mar to provide a world-class destination draft highlights the unique ways that ESPN continues to provide fans with the best possible fantasy experience."
The entire event will take place from August 22-25, with other activities such as the “Draft Combine,” cocktail hour and “Two-Minute Drill” included as well.
