Baha Mar has announced its collaboration with ESPN Fantasy Football to host the first "ESPN Fantasy Football Ultimate Draft Weekend" at the luxury Bahamas resort this month. Taking place August 22-25, the "Ultimate Draft Weekend" will comprise an array of curated luxury experiences geared toward the fantasy football enthusiast, including draft insights and analysis from ESPN Fantasy Football experts and a buzzworthy Draft Day.
The event will host ESPN Fantasy Football experts Field Yates, Stephania Bell, Mike Clay and Daniel Dopp. Participants at Baha Mar will be able to mix and mingle with ESPN’s experts throughout the weekend, participate in a Q&A sessio, and receive detailed draft analysis from them leading up to the Live Draft on Saturday afternoon, August 24.
As part of Pre-Draft activities, on Friday, August 23, leagues will have the opportunity to participate in a competitive “Draft Combine” to determine their league’s draft order, including beach races, a football skills competition, slide races and more. Other options for participants to choose from include a day of golf at Baha Mar’s Jack Nicklaus Signature Royal Blue golf course, miniature golf at Mini Blue, a basketball combine, a blackjack tournament and a day of leisure by the pool or the resort’s Cable Beach. The evening will conclude with a Draft Prep Cocktail Reception featuring ESPN Fantasy Football experts breaking down draft strategies for the 2024-25 season.
On Saturday, all leagues will get ready for Draft Day with a final draft prep session, the “2-Minute Drill,” prior to the 4 p.m. Live Draft. All leagues will gather in the Baha Mar Convention Grand Ballroom to make their final picks. The weekend will close with a Draft Celebration Party at Marcus at Baha Mar Fish + Chop House.
The event will be managed by bdG Sports, which brings more than 20 NCAA Division I basketball teams to Baha Mar each November for Baha Mar Hoops as well as owns and operates two Korn Ferry Tour professional golf tournaments in the Bahamas each January, the Great Exuma Classic and the Great Abaco Classic.
