Circa Presents the Fantasy Football World Championship | Fulltime Fantasy

Fantasy football is all about friends, community, and competition. WIth the rise of online fantasy football drafts, there's been a decline in leagues getting together to draft their teams live and in-person. That being said, live fantasy football events are having a recent resurgence.

These events have been around for years (some for decades) and interest in them is growing, especial five years out of a worldwide pandemic. People are ready now more than ever to get back together and draft! Let's take a closer look at some of the most exciting live fantasy football events that happen on an annual basis.

Fantasy Football World Championships (FFWC)

The FFWC is the premier high-stakes fantasy football event in the country, with drafts live in Las Vegas at Circa Resort and Casino. Powered by Fulltime Fantasy, players can also enter contests online, but the real draw is the VIP treatment that players receive at the in-person event. When players aren't drafting, they're invited to the "Owner's Suite", a large, air-conditioned cabana stocked with drinks, in the famous Stadium Swim. Entries are still being accepted for the August event.

We all love Drake London.

But we probably shouldn't forget about Darnell Mooney, right?

Especially since his ADP of 103.75 this month in the @RotoWire OC makes him a very appealing target. https://t.co/DHpdtYKpps pic.twitter.com/2MtB8r81CG
