The DISH Network Gridiron Games include two exclusive fantasy football competitions: DISH Network Team Pick’em and SnapDraft on DISH Network. The casual football fan will enjoy DISH Network Team Pick’em, where participants pick the winner of every NFL game each week. SnapDraft on DISH Network allows diehard football fans to draft new teams every week utilizing a salary cap. Both games are powered by Fanball, a leading provider of fantasy sports products and contests.

Every week during the season, DISH Network will award $500 to the player with the most points in each competition. At the end of the 2010 NFL season, the winners of both games will each receive $20,000; players in second and third places will each receive $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.
