" Kevin Carter was the natural choice to lead our round, as he was the first investor in my last company while he was at SV Angel and believed in us before anyone else did," says Chairman and co-founder Jeremy Levine , who previously was the founder of DRAFT. "Once we filled out our round, we knew we had to throw a festival..." Underdogapalooza starts today at noon and streams until midnight. Be sure to join here: twitter.com/underdogfantasy.

Best Ball, one of the four games currently offered by Underdog, is an innovative form of season long fantasy that requires no management after the draft. Participants simply draft their 18 player teams and each week they receive the points at each starting lineup spot for the players who scored the most points. No setting your lineup, trades or waiver wires to deal with. Do the draft and that's it.

Underdog also offers player Pick'em games including Rivals (head-to-head player matchups) and Over/Under as well as daily/weekly drafts, Battle Royale tournaments and more.
